Both signed and unsigned copies available of this original publication from John Green in 1980. The second of three books, these originals are incredibly rare and hard to find. First-person accounts of meetings with Bigfoot. Black and white illustrations. "John Green is the pre-eminent authority on the fascinating question of whether mankind shares North America with another upright-walking primate, having researched the subject for more than 20 years and assembled a file of more than 2,000 reports."
Canadian newspaperman, John Green, beganing investigating reports of hairy, upright, apelike creatures in the late 1950's. This book was originally published in the late 1960's. Among the sightings discussed are some of the well-known, Sasquatch classics such as "The Albert Ostman story", "William Roe's sighting of a female Sasquatch on Mica Mountain in the 1950's" and other well known and lesser known sightings. Mr Green has personally investigated and interviewed witnesses in these cases and much more. This book provides a solid background of this subject from early sightings until the late 1960's. The Author worked with such well known investigators as Rene Dahinden, Bob Titmus, Dr Grover Krantz, and he also knew Roger Patterson. Mr Patterson's 1967 film of a reported female Sasquatch, in Bluff Creek, California is well known through out the world. This is also discussed in this book. This is a well written introduction to this subject by one the most reputable lay persons on this mystery. Readers are advised that Mr. Green has also written several other books on this subject subsquently, "The Year of the Sasquatch", "The Sasquatch File", and the encyclopedic, "Sasquatch, The Apes Among Us." This book is definetely one of the most important introductions to this subject, both for it's factual reporting and the amount of hands on investigation by the Author. It is a must own for anyone interested in this subject.

This is a very good and informative book by an honest man with knowledge about the subject that he writes about. Somewhat long in tooth. I wish more from this author would be forthcoming.
Outsanding book . I'll give it more than a 5!

What I like about this book that it gives you early history on bigfoot sightings and footprints in the Pacific N.West. I enjoyed reading the stories on the William Roe and Albert Ostman incidents which they both actually encountered with the Sasquatches in the early 1900s. For any one who wants to read books on Bigfoot. I highly recommend to buy this one. These creatures do actually live in the N.California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia Forests. Like finding a needle in a haystack except the needle (or needles) keeps moving and moving. Very clever creatures. Lenny's Gold Country Bigfoot Outpost (Private) Center, N.California
Very Informitive

John Green first published "On the track of the Sasquatch" in the late 1960's. Two years later he published "The Year of the Sasquatch". Both books are out of print, but you can now get both books, (with current information, and updates) in "On the track of the Sasquatch". For many people intrested in the Sasquatch this is the first book that was available in the early 70's. It gives a "north west" perspective into the enigma of Bigfoot. Green has assembled all of the sightings and stories from the past - 1840's to 1973. As well as his personal involvment into being one of the first people to look at the Sasquatch as more than a mythical creature of native Indian culture. Green gives first hand acounts about the Willow Creek tracks, Tom Slick's Norhtwest Expedition, and Roger Patersons 1967 movie. A must read for any student of Sasquatch Studies.
