B. H. Hodson's Yeti Description

The Legend:
In 1832, B.H. Hodson, the Court of Nepal's first British Resident, reported that his native hunters had been frightened by a 'wild man' that "moved erectly, was covered in long, dark hair, and had no tail."
This report appears to be the earliest known report of the Yeti by a foreigner.
