Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual Training High School Annual: June, 1904
The last Saturday of our outing came and all hated to say goodbye to Our Huckleberry Man as we called him. One of the campers got out his kodak and asked permission to take a picture of the berry-box, seeking under that pretence to get a picture of the hermit, when to his sur prise, the recluse seemed pleased and asked to have a picture sent to him addressed to Will Cox, Star Lake. The camper with interest said that his name was also Cox. He replied that his name Was really Wilcox but that he called himself Will Cox. Afterwards when one of the party was showing and describing camp pictures, to a young lady, the story of Wilcox was listened to wlith great interest. The young lady theri related a story of two brothers who were students of Michigan University. They had been hunting in Wisconsin a number of years before, one brother staying longer than the other. There they had lost trace of him and had never been able to find him. The father and mother had both recently. Died and the estate could not be settled. She was corresponding with the older brother and would write him, sending the picture and address of our hermit, in hopes that he might be the one. Inquiry was made and our hermit proved to be the long-lost brother. He agreed to return so that they might settle the estate. When this was done he accepted but a small sum of money and made his way back to his cabin in the solitude of the northern wilderness. His was a sensitive nature, one that craved the melancholy of the still pine forest and wild lake, happy in the heart of nature with his books and forest pets.
