E-Book Review: Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Wildmen, Yeti and Other Big News Prints

I received this item in an auction at the 20th-Annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference, and I did not regret it for a minute. Compiled by Scott McClean, it is a terrific gathering of newspaper clippings extending back at least 100 years in the United States, with many pre-1958 reports of "Wildmen," "Gorillas," "HooDoos," "Haints" and other various names for Sasquatch-Like Creatures sighted over the years. All the clippings are arranged by State name, and there is with this CD a bonus 315 additional reports, along with an audio clip of a man named Buddy Knox who wrote and recorded a song about Bigfoot (the song is also included as a bonus), in addition to other clips, mostly about the Patterson/Gimlin Movie. I highly recommend this for everyone's Cryptozoological collection just for the sheer number of reports gathered and for the excellent work McClean did in gathering them.
