About This Item

Mother Goose

In the 19th century a vagrant known as the Leatherman because of his 60lb handmade leather suit, spent 30 years walking a 365-mile clockwise circuit every 34 days through towns in New York State and Connecticut. Ridgefield was on the Leatherman’s circuit and he periodically slept in Sarah Bishop’s cave. The Leatherman was so precise in his timing that people put out food for him and kept their schedules by his.

Mother Goose wants to say a rhyme for The Leatherman. She has heard that a new cave has been discovered where both Sarah Bishop and the Leatherman might be found. This travel bug wants to look for the Leatherman along his circuit and stop in this new cave.

Mother Goose rhyme

One misty moisty morning

When cloudy was the weather

I chanced to meet an old man

All dressed in leather

I began to curtsy

He began to grin

And howdy do and howdy do

And howdy do again.
