In August 1958 a bulldozer operator named Jerry Crew carried a sixteen-inch plaster footprint out of the woods above Bluff Creek, California. The newspaper photograph of him holding it put a new word into national print, and it stayed there.
But the creature was never only American. The Abkhaz villagers who remembered Zana. A Sherpa guide on the Menlung glacier. A mining-camp hunter on the Rio Jamanxim, soldiers in the Vietnamese highlands, a Florida woman who mailed two photographs to the sheriff. Different languages, same shape at the tree line.
This book gathers them into one volume. Each case is set down as it stands in the record, with the witnesses, the dates, the casts and the film, and where there is another account, it's there too. You decide.
"Every case is presented as it stands in the record. Nothing here is offered as proof, and nothing is offered as a debunking. The reader is left to decide."
From the front matterFive parts, arranged by region. Each case opens with a map pin and closes with the ground itself, photographed from orbit.
Every chapter follows the same structure, so you can read the book straight through or open it anywhere.
The encounter in plain narrative, drawn from the original reporting, affidavits and later interviews.
Numbered plates of the tracks, casts, film frames and faces, with captions set like evidence tags.
A satellite map of the real location with a world inset, so you know exactly where it happened.
Hoax claims, rival explanations and margin notes from the people who were there, set down beside the case.

No, and it doesn't say it isn't. Every case is presented as it stands in the record, with competing accounts set beside it. The reader is left to decide.
