looking at the wiki, his route goes through my hometown.

Seems like a pretty cool guy. I think we've found another name to add to the 4CC team list

Just read about him for 20 mins or so. Pretty neat, OP. Thanks for sharing. I bet he had some incredible stories.

in Canada this story would be unworthy of mention. literally another french canadian living off the land.

TFW he is taken in by the humane society for a spot on his lip.

...wore a bizarre outfit entirely made of stitched-together patches of leather... He never took off the 60-pound suit, even in the sweltering months of summer. It was said that people could hear him coming because of the creaking of the dry, cracked leather.

Taro Ietaka said the Leatherman was known to bathe in streams without taking off his signature garment "and because he didn't wear any underclothes, the wet leather must have chafed him like a medieval penitence."

The first mention of the cancer that would eventually kill the Leatherman seems to have come in 1886. At first, observers assumed he had frostbite on the left side of his jaw. As the disease progressed, questions about his health became a regular feature in news coverage — but there was nothing anyone could do. He wouldn't sit still for a meal — what were the chances he'd accept the scrutiny of a doctor?

By the winter of 1888, and especially after the historic blizzard that year, during which Leatherman disappeared for several days and was feared dead, concerns about his well-being became more paternalistic. Editors started calling for his capture so he could be treated. The local Humane Society determined that he could no longer care for himself. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

Is that done by vote or something?
