I recall seeing Mr. McCartney and his goats several times as a kid growing up in Hokes Bluff, AL during the late fifties and early sixties. He was travelling along US 278 between Gadsden and Piedmont, AL. A very nice man.

I am looking for a list/ and images of the art exhibited at the Cotton States Exposition. Anyone have any idea where I might find this? Specifically I am looking for ties to Arts and Crafts, Folk Art and Modern art…

thanks!

It was only once, but I remember the Goat Man coming through our small town of Danville Kentucky in the mid fifties. I was only out ten or so ,but have never forgotten the event!

I remember seeing “the goat man” camped along hw 278 between Rutledge and Covington near a place called the Hub Junction in the 1950′s. He was a sight to behold!

I remember The Goat Man traveling down Hwy 41 in Calhoun and Adairsville Ga. in the late 60′s and early 70′s. We saw him a few different times with his waggon and many goats. We never talked to him, but he always weaved at us as he went by. The rumor’s we heard was that he was really rich, but choose to live with his goats.

I still can remember that I also did that before. But I think my parents didn’t send my letter. Now, I can still remember the feeling of expecting santa claus every Christmas Eve. The spirit of Christmas never fails to put smiles on the face of the children Thank you for this post! I honestly remembered my happy memories.

As a child in the 40′s my mother and sister took e to Rich’s to see the Lone Ranger and Tonto, the real ones and he gave me a silver bullit. It would have been in the middle 40′s. Does anyone else remember or went to this event?

I remember him vividly as a very young child and as a man with a very special “something” about him. Children and adults loved him. He would show up in the 60/s and 70/s at unexpected times slowly riding in a buggy with goats calmly pulling it down the highway. He would hand out color postcards of the vehicle and goats for all. He was always happy and smiling. He dressed in overalls.

This was Bulloch County; Brooklet and Stilson areas. We hated to see him go and would wonder where he went that made him so very happy in his simple and non material life. We actually wanted to go with him. I know now it was a spiritual realm he lived in and that he would have been content and happy anywhere where he could touch the lives of others in his simple wonderful way.

I wish I’d read these letters earlier in the holiday season. They really touched my heart. Thanks so much for posting them.
