"Splendidly lyrical and just as splendidly crusty. Where Bigfoot Walks is the sort of book Thoreau might have written
if he had discovered giant footprints of an unknown origin in the vicinity of Walden Pond." - Lawrence Millman, author of
Hero Jesse and Last Places
"Fast claiming his place as one of the country's finest natural history writers, Pyle takes to the hills in search of
Bigfoot in this absorbing, classily written field report...Pyle makes all the right connections. Best of all, he loves a good
mystery and is smart enough, open and radical enough, never to say never." - Kirkus Reviews
Robert Michael Pyle trekked into the Dark Divide, where he discovered a giant fossil footprint; searched out Indians
who told him of an outcast tribe of large, hairy creatures that had not fully evolved into humans; and attended the convocation
in British Columbia called Sasquatch Daze, where he realized that "these guys don't want to find Bigfoot - they want to be
Bigfoot." Ultimately Pyle discovered a few things about the elusive Bigfoot - and a lot about the human needs for something
to believe in and for the presence of wilderness in our lives.
