The Hermit of Hyde Park His Privations and Death
A long profile of James Gatley born 1810 in England, known as the Hermit of Hyde Park. From wealthy origins he lived in a rock shelter near Clarendon Hills, endured poverty, built a museum from a hut, stuffed birds, sold skins, faced robbery, storms, and isolation, before dying in a snowbound hut. Deputy Sheriff Twitchell administered his estate, $1529 realized from sales, and heirs in England disputed his line, with only a grave stone inscribed Hermit remaining.
