About this Item

1st printing. Cloth & boards. 338pp. A couple of illustrations. Appendix ("A Protocol for Encounter"). References. Index. Map of the Dark Divide. Warmly-written presentation on the half-title signed & dated by Pyle in year of publication. Also Pyle's signature on the title page. A wide-ranging book on the Pacific Northwest and its ecology, but with an undercurrent of the author's interest in sasquatch. In time this book should be regarded as a Pacific NW classic. The back cover has a 1 inch wide band of fade across the top. There is a much more subtle fade to the top of the front cover. This knocks the grading down to "good" even though the book is near fine otherwise. The vg unclipped dj has a small chip at the bottom of the backstrip ans a very short tear at the top of same, and is very mildly soiled if that. If you collect sasquatch books, i think you need this in your library. A copy is in mine! Seller Inventory # SHEL1732

About this title

Synopsis:

A scientist who was granted a Guggenheim fellowship to investigate the Sasquatch legend recounts how he found a giant fossil footprint and learned a corroborating Native American legend about a less-evolved race

Review:

A search for the Pacific Northwest's fabled Bigfoot provides a jumping-off point for nature writer Robert Michael Pyle's lyrical ruminations on wilderness, isolation, and the occasional triumphs of mystery over so-called progress. Pyle's well-researched stomping ground is Washington State's Dark Divide in the Cascade Mountains--this rugged country of loggers and recreationists has been the scene for many sightings of the elusive man-beast. Pyle's route alternates between desolate clear-cuts and majestic ancient forests, between the inroads of civilization and the dark recesses of the wild. But never does the author get too caught up in proving anything to himself or the reader; this search for Bigfoot has as much to do with locating the wild nature within each of us as it does with finding a legend.
