About this title

About the Author:

JOHN GREEN is a retired newspaperman. A graduate of both the University of British Columbia and Columbia University, he became interested in the sasquatch in 1957 while he was owner/publisher of the Agassiz-Harrison Advance newspaper and has spent the past 38 years as one of the most active participants in all aspects of the sasquatch investigation. His personal odyssey has ranged from hunting the sasquatch in the wild to following their trail across the continent, to tracking them by computer, and he has been the leader in the long attempt, only now beginning to bearing fruit, to involve the scientific community in the search.. He has written several books on the sasquatch and is considered a pre-eminent authority in the field, having been keynote speaker at all three of the major scientific symposiums so far held on this subject. John and his wife, June, live in Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia. A profile of John's sasquatch-related activities is included in Meet the Sasquatch under Tributes - Canadian and American Researchers.

Review:

I received this book yesterday (September 14th, 2004) . I have read the books that are compiled in this collection before (On The Track Of The Sasquatch and Encounters With Bigfoot, also known as Year Of The Sasquatch), but there is new material in the first four chapters of the book. The first chapter, The Ape and The IM Index, examines the various ways that people have tried to debunk the Patterson/Gimlin film (without success, of course), as well as the Intermembral Index which determines how long the arms are in proportion to the legs. In humans, it's 70, while in the P/G film creature, it's in the high-80's, which makes it impossible to be a human in a costume. The second chapter, Recent Developments, discusses some of the prominent scientists who have come forward in defense of the Sasquatch, such as the late Dr. Grover Krantz, the late Dr. Leroy Fish, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Russell Mittermier and several other luminaries. The Skookum Cast is also examined, as are the dermal ridge footprints examined by Jimmy Chilcutt.Chapter 3 focuses on the media attention which surrounded the death of Ray Wallace in late-2002, and the chapter is appropriately called, Bigfoot Did Not Die. The final chapter is called 100,000 Reward, which is a real reward given to anyone who can successfully duplicate the tracks found in and around Bluff Creek, California. The first four chapters are an excellent setup for the rest of the book, which is wonderfully written and researched. Get this book if you can. --Henry May, Southeast Sasquatch Association
