Hermit Island In Chattahoochee River Prompts Savage Discovery
A late August report details an expedition to Hermit Island in the Chattahoochee River between West Point and Columbus. The party found two naked, emaciated Africans living in a rock shelter with a dog as feared companion. The men, aged about 45–50 and 70-plus, were described as agile, with long nails and teeth, and lacking fire or stated food sources. They appeared to have inhabited the island for over twenty years, likely evading capture since slavery era, with no clear means of arrival or escape identified. The encounter raises questions about origins and evolution theories amid sensationalized, non-graphic reportage.
