I wanted to explore this topic, the Wild Man, but had no real good idea of what I'd find. It's a matter of finding old newspaper articles and compiling the stories. I had a feeling it would be a mix of mysterious sightings of something that could be man or beast. I was right, although more man than I would have thought. As part of the book, I will be: 1) compiling statistics regarding the stories, e.g. what states, wild man description, what the average/usual sighting consists of, etc.; 2) a glossary of terms and words that I ran into that serves to show how our language, or at least our journalistic writing may have changed since the 1800s and early 1900s.; 3) as a bonus, I'm working on my own interpretation of what I thing Bigfoot is, its origins, etc.
I'm closing in on the completion of the compilation of stories.
The bookcover will be a painting of mine.
