Boss Snakes: Stories and Sightings of Giant Snakes in North America offers a comprehensive collection of tales involving an often overlooked folkloric creature. While recognizing that hoaxes and misidentifications exist, there are stories that might just point to larger-than-expected serpents. Includes a brief guide to our larger native species (and new invasive species) and a state-by-state listing of hundreds of historical and contemporary stories.

More Groundbreaking Research,
This review is from: Boss Snakes: Stories and Sightings of Giant Snakes in North America (Paperback)
Hot on the heels of his pioneering volume, The Historical Bigfoot, Chad Arment has produced the first and only compilation of giant snake tales from North America, spanning centuries from colonial times through the 1960s. As in his other works, Arment makes no attempt to "sell" a theory of new unknown species at large. He retains a healthy attitude of scientific skepticism and exposes hoaxes that other researchers have swallowed, hook, line, and sinker. A must-buy volume for anyone interested in cryptozoology, reptiles, or natural mysteries in general.
