| | Publisher's Note | Robert Michael Pyle trekked into the Dark Divide, where he discovered a giant fossil footprint; searched out Indians who told him of an outcast tribe that had not fully evolved into humans; and attended the convocation in British Columbia called Sasquatch Daze, where he realized that "these guys don't want to find Bigfoot-they want to be Bigfoot." Ultimately Pyle discovers a few things about Bigfoot - and a lot about the human need for something to believe in and the need for wilderness in our lives.
Where Bigfoot Walks is a dramatic narrative exploration not only of the phenomenon of Bigfoot but also of the nature of human belief, particularly the need to believe that something is out there beyond what we rationally know. Awarded a Guggenheim to investigate the legends of Sasquatch, Robert Pyle trekked into the wilderness of the Dark Divide, where he discovered a giant fossil footprint; searched out Indians who told him of an outcast tribe, the Seeahtlks, who had not fully evolved into humans; attended Sasquatch Daze in British Columbia, where he met scientists, hunters, and others - even a standup comic - who have devoted their lives to Bigfoot (call 1-800-BIGFOOT if you spot one), and realized that "these guys don't want to find Bigfoot - they want to be Bigfoot".
| | Industry reviews | "For those unfamiliar with the Bigfoot legend, 'Where Bigfoot Walks' is a good primer. For those up to speed, the story Mr. Pyle has recorded of a Sasquatch-like encounter as told around the campfire by a former Haisla Nation chief from coastal British Columbia may be worth all the rehashing; it is one of the best I've ever read."
