"Monsters of the Northwoods" By Paul & Robert Bartholomew, William Brann & Bruce Hallenbeck

Title: Monsters of the Northwoods
Authors: Paul & Robert Bartholomew, William Brann & Bruce Hallenbeck
Published Year: 1992
Pages: 136

It is hard to find a book on Bigfoot/Sasquatch specific to one area unless it is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. That is why this book is so intriguing to me. It specifically documents sightings in New York and part of Vermont, with the majority being from New York.

There are actual transcripts that the authors have collected during interviews with witnesses that claim to have seen Bigfoot/Sasquatch. One of the best things about this specific book is that the authors are all interested in the phenomena, yet they do not push their ideas hard against the reader. Instead they let the reader develop their own ideas from the facts and eyewitness accounts that they provide. As mentioned in a previous entry, reading these types of books just furthers my own personal opinion on the subject and become more and more precise as I read more about it. In addition, it also brings more questions for my further readings. Continuing to question what is set before you is one of the best things you can do for yourself, this is how I learn the best. Keeping my curiosity alive is one of my favorite things to do, and reading books like this on things that have yet to be proven helps with that.
