Description

The Historical Bigfoot provides a look at the stories of large hairy manlike apes in North America, before the term "Bigfoot" was even coined for this cryptid. From the early 1800s to the 1940s, sightings of Wild Men, Yahoos, Gorillas, and What-Is-It's were published in newspapers or passed along as strange stories to ponder. Many of these were based on solitary humans, others were misidentifications of known wildlife, and a few were hoaxes or fabricated stories. There are reports, however, that distinctly point to the presence of an as-yet unidentified primate in North America.
