Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti in literature: the books and stories that have shaped the legend

The legend of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti has been a topic of fascination for many people around the world for centuries. These mysterious creatures, also known as wildmen or cryptids, have been the subject of countless stories, sightings, and expeditions.

But the legend of these hidden creatures has also been a rich source of inspiration for writers and authors. From ancient mythology to modern science fiction, Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti have been featured in many books and stories.

One of the earliest known written accounts of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti is found in the myths and legends of indigenous peoples. Many Native American tribes, for example, have stories about wildmen and other creatures that roam the forests and mountains.

These stories were passed down through the generations and have influenced many modern authors and writers. One of the best-known examples is “The Legend of Boggy Creek” (1972), a book by Charles B. Pierce that tells the true story of Bigfoot sightings in Arkansas.

Another popular book about Bigfoot is “Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us” (1972) by John Green, which explores the legend of Bigfoot and the evidence for its existence. Green’s book was followed by several others, including “The Sasquatch and Other Unknown Hominoids” (1977) and “The Sasquatch File” (1978).
