| Bio: | What made the Leatherman unique was his incredible precision in daily routine. From approximately 1860 to 1888, this wandering hobo would arrive in the same location every 34 days. Immediately upon arriving, he began his approximate 10-miles-per-day, 365-miles-per-month clockwise trek between the Connecticut and Hudson rivers. From Harwinton, Connecticut, his route took him to Bristol, Forestville, Southington, Kensington, Berlin, Middletown, and south along the westerly side of the Connecticut River to the shore towns. He then traveled west to Westchester County in New York state, coming within a few miles of the Hudson River and then back east into Connecticut. From Danbury, Connecticut, he went north to New Milford, through Roxbury, Woodbury, Watertown, Plymouth, and back to Harwinton, completing his one-month cycle. This is my life. My commute takes me through a lot of these same places; many of them still have streets and caves and trails named after the Leatherman. I work about five miles from the Leatherman's final resting place in New York. I live at the far eastern end of his circuit. | ||||||||||
