Met him in the late 60's. I had heard my parents talk about him since I was a child. He was a true legend.

It's a shame people felt a need to attack a harmless man and innocent goats....

The Goat Man was the first story I heard when I moved here in 1982. Wish I could have met him.

Any man that spends his life in poverty and still preaches the word of the lord is a Perfect Saint and my Hero. God Bless his precious soul.

Awww, so sad to hear how cruel and mean people where to this man that never bothered anyone, he was just trying to spread the gospel.

He passed through Monroe and Conecuh County, Alabama enough that several generations of people remember seeing him over the years.

I have to admit, this story made me a little bit sad...I can not believe someone would attack this man and his goats. It had to be satan, because he was doing the Lord's work. I admire that the Goat Man lived his life the way he wanted and didn't care how people thought of him. We need more people like him. I have no doubt in my mind that God was waiting for him to say, "Well done MY good and faithful servant!" Thank you for sharing this story... it's one that will stay with me for a very long time.💝💘😔

I went to rural grammer school in East Tennessee. Every year the goat man would come by our school. It was such a big deal, the principle would let all the kids out of class to go outside and see the goat man. He would always stop and talk with the kids and answer questions. I had completely forgotton about him, until I ran accross this video. I could never understand why someone would attack this sweet old man.

I lived in Athens Tennessee every time he came thru my dad would take my brother and I to see him, the good old days.

Met him one night in Resaca Georgia, he was camped along the old 41 highway at the civel war cemeratary, talked to him about two hours, that was about 1960.

I saw the goat man as a small child while traveling thru North Carolina. I still remember the smell. Being an animal lover I wanted to approach but my parents wouldn’t let me. No air conditioning in those days and the trip to Florida took 3 days. I think they didn’t want to smell me in the car. Still a good memory.

It is quite a shame that anyone would want to hurt the Goat Man, prejudice is an evil thing.

@user-ih8eh5wb2w

As a child I first met this gentleman when he passed thru my Hometown of Milledgeville,Georgia....My Grandfather always allowed him to stay a few days on his property and we fed him and us kids always were fascinated with his stories and the chance to play with his baby goats.....he was truly a part of a Lost Americana,but,still remains one of my earliest childhood memories.

I saw The goat man as a young child in north Georgia. What a sight!!!

@benniehardman4199 Год назад

I can remember this man when I was a little kid.

@stephaniemccord8677

I had a dream about an old appalachian family that raised goats. They were very close to nature and in this dream I was trying to let a daddy longleg spider outside. The spider was strong and fought me to come back in. When I got frustrated, the old man said "we should say grace" and I started praying. ❤ 🐐

I live not far from Chattanooga Tennessee and I can remember when the goat man came through Fort Oglethorpe Georgia that is where my grandmother lived thank you that is one memory I had forgotten about

@tommorgan5826 Год назад

As a child I remember the goat man well, as he traveled thru Macon Ga. my hometown. It was always, a treat to see him with his goats and that old wagon. I remember seeing him on Jeffersonville Rd. I asked him what he did when it got cold, he said he would just pull up another goat! RIP Jess!

@AngieJames4172 Год назад

I just will never be able to understand why anyone wants to hurt someone that isn't hurting others. They will surely answer for it when their time comes. This man hopefully lived his life to the fullest the way he wanted. I hope he is in Heaven with Jesus.
