With the explosion of knowledge taking place in recent decades, man the scientist is costantly discovering that things
he has been certain of are wrong: the very continents he lives on drift around; the cells of which he is made are not simple,
but infinitely complex; his own genus has been on Earth many times longer than he thought. Now there is compelling evidence
that he has also been wrong about his living relatives.
One of the things considered certain was that the giants and man-animals that inhabit all mankind's traditions are entirely
imaginary. Now that belief is under serious challenge. Twenty years ago giant footprints found in northern California brought
"Bigfoot" to the attention of Americans and revived interest in Canada's "Sasquatch".
John Green has been in the thick of things from the beginnning. In this book he samples the evidence from the earliest
records up to the present and from all around the world, but then concentrates on two aspects of the subject; the nature of
the animal described, and the wealth of reports from parts of North America outside the Pacific Northwest. Surprisingly, it
could be in Florida, New Jersey, Manitoba, one of the states between the Great Lakes and the Ohio, or even in the mountains
just north of Los Angeles that the mystery will finally be solved.
"This will be the definitive work on Sasquatches." - Dr. Grover Krantz, Department of Anthropology, Washington
State University
"For anyone interested in this corner of human knowledge...Mr. Green's book is essential reading. Anyone who picks
it up will find it fascinating." - Dr. Geoffrey Bourne, Director of Yerkes Primate Research Center, Emery University,
Atlanta
