Sasquatch
by Jeff Meldrum
Jeff Meldrum approaches the legend of Sasquatch not as a myth-maker, but as a scientist examining a biological puzzle. He treats footprints, vocalizations, and anatomical reports with the same rigor he would apply to any other primate study. The experience of reading this is akin to sitting in a university lab; it is quiet, methodical, and deeply analytical. Rather than leaning into campfire scares, Meldrum focuses on the landscape, the mechanics of movement, and the physical evidence left behind in the wilderness. It is a slow, intellectual burn that rewards readers who care more about the anatomy of a footprint than the thrill of a ghost story. If you are the type of person who values evidence-based inquiry and wants to see how a professional biologist reconciles the unknown with the known, this book will likely reshape your perspective on the subject.
