Review: The most scientific and comprehensive book on the subject of Sasquatch. And very entertaining! - I've been interested in the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch since I first read about them sometime back in the early 1970s. Since that time, I have read probably more than 30 books on the subject. Of those 30, I would say that about half of them were primarily geared towards telling an exciting story, while not really delving very deeply into a discussion of the evidence. This book by Professor Meldrum is easily the best written and the most scientific and methodical of them all. Every aspect of the available evidence for the existence of Sasquatch is covered in grand detail, and in clear and concise language that is easy to follow and comprehend. That evidence includes stories of Sasquatch sightings and encounters (both modern and historical), Native American/First Nations oral histories of the creatures, examinations of Sasquatch footprints, handprints, and the "Skookum Cast" (and even a Sasquatch butt print!), photographic and video evidence, sound recordings, a possible ancient ancestor called Gigantopithecus, a statistical analysis of habitat and food availability in North America for a large primate, DNA and other psychical evidence, dermatoglyphics studies from the dermal ridges found from castings that have been made, and even a close examinations of some of the known hoaxes and the people who perpetrated them. I applaud the author for the very professional way in which he has approached this subject, while still managing to tell as exciting of a story as any of the sensationalistic tomes that I've read in the past. It is quite the achievement to be able to educate and entertain at the same time. I highly recommend this book. It will take its place at the top of the available literature on the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Forest Giants/North American Apes that live among us. Well done!
Review: excellent in scope and content - Dr. Meldrum has deftly woven a fast-paced work of popular science that neatly summarizes--occasionally from a detailed zoological perspective--what we know about sasquatch. Now, I didn't notice all that much difference from Dr. Krantz's work of a few years back, "Big Footprints" (except that Meldrum's opus is copiously and, moreover, supportively illustrated) but that is no surprise, given that Krantz almost literally "passed the baton" to Meldrum as the leading sasquatch researcher of the current generation. It still troubles me that a living sample has yet to be collected. It would help tremendously to kill and dissect a living animal. (The characterization of "monster" vice "animal" is unquestionably what causes the public to scoff at the whole quest. No, sasquatch may be a remarkable animal, but he is just an animal: he eats, sleeps, defecates, copulates, and dies. O.K., perhaps he's a sasquanimal.) I frankly disbelieve those hunters who claim to have rifle-scoped a sasquatch but declined to shoot because of some vague empathic vibes. They're just flat liars. But, if you think about it, there hasn't actually been that much effort directed at bagging an animal: certainly, reputable scientists must scrimp and scrape to self-fund expeditions, and they still risk their reputations on this quondam taboo pursuit. I laud Dr. Meldrum for two important tenets of the book: first, his reluctance to rely solely upon the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, which--though logically demonstrable to be authentic--still raises hackles among some scholars; and second, his exhaustive forensic analysis of the Skookum body cast. I, for one, had believed that the body cast was utter nonsense: surely, how can you claim that a few scrapes in the mud are evidence of an eight-hundred-pound bipedal ape stalking the forests of Washington? When I read--slowly, carefully--mulled, and digested the cooperative analyses of Meldrum and his scholarly buddies, I was utterly floored at the criticality and incontrovertibility of the artifact. All in all, it is most unfortunate that diehard unbelievers will remain unconvinced, while diehard believers need no more convincing. The important question is whether those folks who yet "ride the fence" will be prodded in the believers' direction through Dr. Meldrum's engaging prose. I believe the answer is resoundingly affirmative. Yack 'em and sack 'em, sasquatchman!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Scientific Take On The Elusive Sasquatch
*by M***Y on August 31, 2025*

Dr. Jeff Meldrum has done a wonderful job at introducing his audience to the need for an honest, scientific, and open-minded examination of the plethora of evidence already gathered. Though the subject is being taken more seriously with each passing year, the unwavering support of the citizenship of Sasquatchery and the same from the scientific community is even more important now. There will always be hard skeptics who cannot be convinced, even with all the current evidence. Our job is not to convert skeptics. It is simply to enjoy the journey and meet some great people along the way like Dr. Meldrum, Don Keating, Marc Dewerth, Cliff Barackman, Matt Pruitt, James Fay, Lyle Blackburn, and so many others. Once the species is cataloged and accepted, our focus can shift to protection of the species and further study. Dr. Meldrum has his fingers on the pulse of the Sasquatch phenomena and what a great learning experience this has been. Such a great read! Mark McClure
