correct, he "coined" the term. Not so fast. These "wild man" eyewitness accounts may not use the name Sasquatch, but they clearly describe such an animal, so there is no reason to exclude them from the discussion. You can verify this yourself by reading Tirademan's Historical Archive, there are dozens of articles which demonstrate this and you are a premium member.

Hello Incorrigible1, There are folks in Laurasia that wouldn't like that.

I have a story about the M14. I had a USMC vet that helped me move furniture anytime I was in Phoniex. His name was Sergio and he served in a rifle company in I corps. When the transition came to the m16 rifle, they hid as many m14's as possible. And while on patrol they always had one on point. Because it was so reliable vs the m16 which they hated. It jammed, it was underpowered and it didnt shoot the same ammo as their m 60's. In a pinch they would pick up and carry AK's as well. I think the m1a scout would be my weapon of choice if I had to go into combat. But not if I was trailing a wounded brown bear in the brush on Kodiak island.
