Forty-five years ago giant footprints found in northern California brought Bigfoot to the attention of the world and revived interest in the Sasquatch. Every year since then additional evidence has accumulated. John Green has been in the thick of things from the beginning. First published in 1978, he sampled the evidence from the earliest records up to the late 1970s and from all around the world, then concentrated 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. When it came out The Apes Among Us was acclaimed as the definitive work on the fascinating subject of whether humans share North America with a giant bipedal primate that is unknown to science. Since then evidence for the existence of that unknown primate has grown exponentially, and individual scientists have written books about aspects of it. Remarkably, however, to most of the scientific world the evidence remains unknown and unexplored, and for those who do follow the subject this is still the definitive book. Includes bibliography of books and articles cited and several indexes including: a general index, places and newspapers arranged by state and province; by name; and, a Sasquatch index w/sections on behavior, diet, descriptions, and tracks.
