The compilation of Wild Man articles from newspapers so far involve 36 states and two Canadian provinces. The newspaper sources are all based in the US so the stats are understandable. There are several countries as well, mostly Asian.
Newspaper language was a little different back around the turn of the century and before. Sometimes stilted, but usually amusing. Sometimes dismissive of some of the sightings and sometimes editorial in nature, but it's easy to see that wild men or similar creatures were witnessed often. Sometimes captured. Often hairy. Muscular. Large. Mostly naked.
Now at 46,000 words. Nowhere near complete.
