"This is a book not about Sasquatch, but about the men who spent their lives searching for it. Brian Regal's fast-moving narrative uncovers the complex relationships within and between the amateur enthusiasts and the small number of professional scientists who took the monster seriously. Regal opens a window onto the psychology and sociology of monster-hunting and has provided a valuable case study in the relationship between science and popular culture."-Peter Bowler, Professor of History of Science, School of History and Anthropology, Queen's University Belfast "Searching for tangible evidence of elusive monsters has a long tradition among naturalists, highly trained scientists, adventurers, and charlatans. In this fascinating book, Brian Regal explores the many sides to 'monster-hunting,' or cryptobiology, through a case study of anthropologist Gordon 'Grover' Krantz's search for Sasquatch. Regal has skillfully used Krantz's career to raise a number of significant issues for the history of science, most important, what is the nature of evidence in science itself and how is its legitimacy negotiated."-Garland E. Allen, Department of Biology, Washington University in St. Louis "The Yeti, Sasquatch, and the Minnesota Iceman take a back seat in this lively and engaging book which shows us that far more interesting, surprising, and bizarre than these mythical monsters may be are the many naturalists, both amateur and professional, who strove to make a legitimate science out of their study."- Vassiliki Betty Smocovitis, Professor, History of Science, University of Florida "A unique and remarkable work that highlights the people involved in the search for unknown primates. A fount of information on many characters about whom I knew little or nothing. Brian Regal has created a valuable, historic and highly readable tome."-Richard Freeman, Zoological Director, Centre for Fortean Zoology, UK "Sasquatch has always been a creature of the margins-half-human, half-beast; authentic and plastic; science and nonsense. In this incisive and often funny book, Brian Regal shows how the beast also stood between professional scientists and amateurs, and how debates about Sasquatch were simultaneously attempts to define the complicated relationship between these two groups."- Joshua Blu Buhs, author of Bigfoot: The Life and Times of a Legend, "This is a book not about Sasquatch, but about the men who spent their lives searching for it.

This book is a rare and insightful look by an academic who writes and thinks well."- Bigfoot Times "This is a book not about Sasquatch, but about the men who spent their lives searching for it.
