Wicked Weird & Wily Yankees explores and celebrates the eccentric personalities who have left their mark in a way no other book has before.

Look inside to find: Tales of the Leather Man and the Old Darned Man, who both spent years crisscrossing the highways and byways of the northeast, their origins and motivation to remain forever unknown. The magnificent homes of William Gillette and Madame Sherri, famed socialites who constructed enormous castles in the New England countryside. William Sheldon's apocalyptic prophecies and wild claims including that the American Revolution had hastened the end of the world and that he could-through his mastery of the 'od-force'-prevent cholera across the eastern United States. The mysterious fortune-teller Moll Pitcher whose predictions, some say, were sought by European royalty and whose fame made her the subject of poems, plays, and novels long after her death.Stretching back to the colonial era and covering the development and evolution of New England society through the beginning of the twenty-first century, this book captures the rebel spirit, prickly demeanors, and wily attitudes that have made the region the hotbed for oddity it is today.\\*All Royalties Donated to the Education and Youth Programs at the Connecticut River Museum\\* 298 pp. Englis, Books<
