Synopsis

The inspiration for the film The Dark Divide starring David Cross and Debra Messing, one of America's most esteemed natural history writers takes to the hills in search of Bigfoot—and finds the wildness within ourselves.

Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to investigate the legends of Sasquatch, Yale–trained ecologist Dr. Robert Pyle treks into the unprotected wilderness of the Dark Divide near Mount St. Helens, where he discovers both a giant fossil footprint and recent tracks. On the trail of what he thought was legend, he searches out Indians who tell him of an outcast tribe, the Seeahtiks, who had not fully evolved into humans. A handful of open–minded biologists and anthropologists counter the tabloids Pyle studies, while rogue Forest Service employees and loggers swear of a vast conspiracy to deep–six true stories of unknown, upright hominoid apes among us. He attends Sasquatch Daze, where he meets scientists, hunters, and others who have devoted their lives to the search, only to realize that "these guys don't want to find Bigfoot—they want to be Bigfoot!"

In it, Robert Michael Pyle treks across Bigfoot's legendary habitat in the Pacific Northwest, hiking and camping mostly solo. His goal is to explore the terrain Bigfoot is rumored to walk, to......more

Goodreads review by Robert on September 29, 2010

This is not so much a treatise on bigfoot as it is more of a travelouge of a portion of the state of Washington where there have been numerous sightings. The author, a naturalist, and as such being quite verbose, takes the reader along with him as he hikes and drives through the heavily forested are......more

Well this was........something! I know the title is Where Bigfoot Walks which can probably get the author out of a misrepresentation stickiness as it doesn't actually say it's gonna be about seeing Bigfoot. The tagline on the front is so misleading however, "Updated edition with the latest research......more
