Its 1911 and a farmer from Chippewa working his fields finds a man half frozen in a stack of hay.
He does not know who he was or where he came from and he is taken to a local asylum where he is properly taken care of but never recovers his identity to become known only as Haystack Jack .
It is believed he may have been a cowboy because of ranches and such he recalled but no one was able to run down which one it was or like many drifters if there was ever a record of him working there.
Was he a victim of a mugging tossed off a train running thru area ? No one knows and as time passes chances are even with DNA if they can recover it they will never find out .
Jack Haystacks is but one of many such mystery people in late 1800s early 1900s who ended up in asylums all over the country unable to tell there story's .
