Russell Kirk and Albert Jay Nock corresponded about the hodag, a Michigan cryptozoological curiosity.https://twitter.com/jennyschuessler/status/987749213554593798 …

It was a regional connection in this case: Kirk was a Michigan native and Nock had lived in Alpena as a boy. They’d both heard hodag folk stories.
