Between 1857 and 1889, a man (purportedly) named Jules Bourglay or Rudoph Mossey repeatedly walked a 365 mile loop through western Connecticut and eastern New York, repeating a circuit every 34 days. And he did it wearing 60+ pounds of homemade leather clothing, regardless of temperature. People guessed at his name, but knew nothing about his background or why he spent 32 years of his life walking in a very big circle.
What could drive a man to do this? Broken heart? Emotional unbalance? Tracing magical steps? And of course, with a nickname like the Leatherman, some rather more insidious ideas come to mind. Who is he and what happens next?
