Bigfoot in Maine is a great book - it benefits from the author's ability to gain the confidence of witnesses and let them tell their story, adding details that weren't common knowledge to well-publicized cases like the Durham Gorilla. 5 stars.* I'm going to go out on a limb and state that When Roger Met Patty is the most important book on the PG film, as it persuasively demonstrates why the film could not have been faked and does so with technical knowledge of film, cameras, make-up, etc., that few people possess. 6 stars.* Contrast that with The Making of Bigfoot by Greg Long, which in my opinion can be summarized as, "these people are beneath me, I don't like them, and therefore they are frauds." Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science is a good introductory book. Lastly, I highly recommend The Sasquatch Hunter's Field Manual, by our very own Hiflier. It is a very good book condensing much of what he has written here and it is well-written. I'm grateful to have a signed copy. * I am not related to, friends of (except for Hiflier), or compensated by the authors.

Indeed, Huntster, and I thank you for putting it up. It solidified much for me as well and I'm certain you may agree that there was a curiously obvious thread beneath it all that rang true. I found it rewarding that someone could articulate so well many things that have, for me, been almost an instinctive knowledge of critical societal dynamics. It is also apparent that we have a ways to go still and one cannot help but wonder if we'll get "there" sooner if the area of our brains that carries emotional weight shrinks further allowing for greater altruism to rise to the surface. Maybe after that happens the Guardians of the Galaxy will allow us off this planet to join them as fellow space travelers. If there are Guardians of the Galaxy anywhere out there to begin with that is Apologies for waxing somewhat esoterically philosophical. Now, about that Sasquatch. Apparently NOT as aggressive at their respective territorial boundaries as Chimps? Unless a deeply rooted social trigger or "norm" requires that these creatures also outnumber an intruder at a ratio of 8:1 before initiating any violence?

All that doesn't matter to Science. If the host isn't produced, it means nothing. Kinda' reminds me of what we used to say to the guy at work boasting about what he did or could do: if you don't have a pic, it didn't happen. Or kinda' like the jawbone found 39 years ago that only recently was declared as Denosivan.........after the sliver of finger bone from Denosiva cave was declare a new human species. https://www.science.org/content/article/first-fossil-jaw-denisovans-finally-puts-face-elusive-human-relatives Funny how that works: immediately after Science is forced to admit discovery, sasquatch relics will literally pour out of bone collections, old nightstand drawers, and native medicine bags everywhere.

Bluff Creek book is pretty dry. I applaud the efforts in the search but it doesn't really hold your interest in a 600 page narrative. Michelle Souliere's "Bigfoot in Maine" is the best new book I've read in the last year. I typically buy 5-8 bigfoot books a year. Some are... duds, to put in gently.
