Last month, a man found a petrified Bigfoot skull in Utah. The month before, Bigfoot was harassing a family in Alabama. Sasquatch gets around. In this month’s free e-book, Bigfoot: The Life and Times of a Legend, Joshua Blu Buhs tracks the wild and wooly story of our favorite monster—from reports of wildmen roaming the forests of nineteenth-century America, to the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas, to the 1950s emergence of Bigfoot as a hairy hominid loping through the remote woodlands of northern California. We meet charlatans, pseudo-scientists, and dedicated hunters of the beast; and, with Buhs as our guide, pursue the cultural underpinnings of this enduring legend—the meaning of this beast we cannot seem to find, yet it will not go away.
