Editorial Review: Product Description: Backpacking into the heart of California Bigfoot Country, a wildland firefighter and a struggling writer seek evidence of the legendary Bigfoot. They hope to solve the mysteryfor themselves if for no one else. An early track find of 21-inch footprints offers as much intrigue as it does doubt. Are they even prepared to believe in the creature that may have left the tracks? And what to make of grunts late into the night and rocks being smashed together? This is their true story unlike any other. It is a side of natureand mankindunknown to all but a very few. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great experiences. Tedious company.This is my second draft of a comment on this book. My first was intemperate and combative. I've counted to ten, but that doesn't obviate the problems I had with T. A. Wilson's approach. On the subject of Sasquatch, the author has a refreshing perspective: open-minded, curious, grounded in physical science yet capable of awe. Just getting into some of these areas yielded experiences that I can tell were very powerful, and he does a good job of bringing the reader with him.

This book is detailed and thoughtful and told by a conservationist and wildlife lover who is truly concerned about the environment and what man has shamefully done to it in a very short period of time. One review said this book was about camping as much as anything else which is partly true but it wasn't boring by any means and doesn't get into beginner lessons on how to start a fire etc.(in fact TA Wilson doesn't use fire ...

The day to day description of the author's trips into the wilderness make for very interesting reading! Although he does not use the real names for any locations (to protect them) you still get a good feel for the forest's of California. The story kept me interested up to and including the end with many harrowing moments. I will not give anything away but just take my word for ... Read More Rating:  - A very enjoyable read.I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this book up and started reading, which may have been good since I didn't go in with any preconceived notions. I found the book to be thoroughly enjoying, and thought Mr. Wilson did a wonderful job of taking the reader into the far reaches of the wilds in search of sasquatch, allowing one to journey far into the California wilds without leaving the comforts of home. His encounters with what could possibly be a North American Primate ... Read More Rating: - An entertaining travelogue centered around this great mysteryThis is a really excellent book, a great read for a cold fall evening. First-time author Wilson weaves a story of a 72-day jaunt into the backwoods of the California Sierra Mountains and points further north. He and his friend, a firefighter named JT, encounter a strange set of tracks, 21 inches long, that do not appear to be of bears. After JT leaves to fight a raging forest fire, Wilson has several strange encounters on the trail alone, including a strange call in the middle of the night, a dung sample he cannot ... Read More
