Mike Allen's In-Person Local Histories
"The Leatherman: A Western Connecticut Legend"
For six years during the late 1800s, this so-called "hobo" hiked the same 360-mile, circuitous route through CT and NY every 34 days like clockwork. Residents could predict when he would return to their town. Wearing a self-made suit of leather, from head to toe, he conversed with no one and slept in caves. And we still don't know who he was. But, people loved him.
Mike Allen is the producer and host of the highly rated podcast, Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut's Beaten Path, which features weekly programs on people, places and events from Connecticut history. His 100 plus episodes can be found at his website: www.amazingtalesct.com
