1828 THE STRANGE APPEARANCE OF KASPAR HAUSER

Kaspar Hauser first appeared on 26 May 1828. The bewildered and anxious teenager was seen staggering the streets of Nuremberg, Germany, wearing ragged clothes and grasping an envelope in his hand. Attempts by the authorities to get details from him only raised questions, as the boy said and comprehended little, although he did identify himself as Kaspar Hauser.
