The above link has a great story about the real “Goat-Man” who wandered the roads from Georgia to LA from the 30s thru the late 80s.
What a story. That is a REAL American story. Didn’t accept welfare until it was all he could do. Had goats, ingenuity, sweat and industry working for him. Of course, he didn’t do it by himself. Others did that.
