BIGFOOT NATION: The History of Bigfoot in North America Book

By David Hatcher Childress

Childress takes a deep look at Bigfoot Nation―the seemingly real world of bigfoot around us in the United States and Canada. Whether real or imagined, that bigfoot has made his way into the American psyche cannot be denied. He appears in television commercials, movies, and on roadside billboards. In fact, bigfoot is everywhere, with actors portraying him in variously believable performances and it has become the popular notion that bigfoot is both dangerous and horny. Indeed, bigfoot is out there stalking lovers' lanes and is even more lonely than those frightened teenagers that he sometimes interrupts.

Bigfoot, tall and strong as he is, makes a poor leading man in the movies with his awkward personality and typically antisocial behavior.
