Famous Hermits, Having Aspergers

Having Aspergers, I tend to go off on tangents, pursuing obscure subjects that temporarily fascinate me, hence, I blog.
 I tend to think of hermits as those people who physically distance themselves from others. You know, the man who moves to the tiny mountain cabin, the woman who sets up a tent and lives in the woods.
 Here are some famous hermits I tracked down online:

  Noah John Rondeau (1883-1967) the Hermit of the Adirondack Mountains
He lived in the Cold River area from 1929. A naturalist, amateur astronomer, violinist, woodsman. He built several huts, tepees and wigwams. Kept a journal all encoded. It took 25 years for someone to crack his cipher.

 Willard Kitchener MacDonald (1916-2004) the Hermit of Gully Lake
After jumping a troop train to avoid service in WWll, lived in a secluded hut in Canada for 60 years. Pacifist. A film was made about his life in 2007, directed by Amy Goldberg, "Willard: The Hermit of Gully Lake."

That satisfies my curiosity.
