FROM THE PUBLISHER - Part history, part road trip, and part biography, this is the true story of a remarkable group of men whose obsession with Bigfoot turned the giant hominid into an American icon.

Berkeley: Univ of California Pr, 2009. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. 1st printing. Cloth & boards. 222 pp. Illus. Notes. Bibliography. Index. The author questions the mental condition of Bigfoot researchers & believers ("... if people can delude themselves into believing (in Bigfoot) ..., what on earth might they be thinking about truly important matters?"). He gives his own interpretation of the historical & biographical background of modern Bigfoot/Sasquatch studies & personalities as he attempts to debunk some famous Sasquatch accounts. Yet, McLeod seems overly fond of the classic argument that Sasquatch can't exist, therefore all evidence of its existence must be bogus. 1st printings now a bit hard to come by. Fine, like new in dj.
