HERMIT: THE MYSTERIOUS LIFE OF

JIM WHYTE

Presented by Maine author and historian Jeffrey Ryan

When Jim Whyte settled outside the slate mining town of

Monson, Maine in 1895, people hardly knew what to make of

him. Almost 130 years later, we still don’t. A world traveler that

spoke six languages fluently, Whyte came to town with sacks

full of money and a fierce desire to keep to himself. It was

clear that Whyte was hiding from something—enough to make

even the FBI eventually come looking. But even the Feds

couldn’t imagine how Whyte, who lost every penny he had when WWI broke out, amassed

another fortune before he died. Based on the true story, Hermit follows one man’s quest to

discover all he can about Whyte’s secret life before it’s too late.
