A thorough review of the early distributions of the Eastern Panther and the legacy of its persecution, complete with spine-chilling accounts of encounters with this fierce creature from both hunters and those who retold the stories of its slaughter.
One of the great mysteries of Eastern North America is whether the Eastern panther might still be roaming free. For almost a decade, Gerry Parker, a research biologist retired from the Canadian Wildlife Services, investigated reports of panther sightings in Atlantic Canada. This book chronicles firsthand accounts of recent sightings from Mississippi to Newfoundland.

An Important Cryptozoology Book!!,

This review is from: The Eastern Panther: Mystery Cat of the Appalachians (Paperback)
Parker's book is an absolute must for the eastern cougar researcher, searcher, and tracker. Parker details most efforts to discoverrecent data on the animals, reviews their history in America, and documents (through photos and text) examples of eastern panther taxidermy mounts found in museums and collections throughout the eastern section of the United States. To have all of this information in one place is worth the asking price of the book alone. Great job Mr. Parker!

This review is from: The Eastern Panther: Mystery Cat of the Appalachians (Paperback)
What an amazing book. I am a US history buff, and here I am introduced for the first time to so much about the history of animals in the US. It is amazing what these beautiful creatures went through at the hands of the settlers in the early years of our country. It amazes me how we completely decimated so much of nature's beauty in the name of progress. I recommend this book highly not just to folks interested in panthers, and wild life, but anyone interested in history as well, like me.

The Eastern Panther : Mystery Cat of the Appalachians,
By "jedacadie" (Dieppe, NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eastern Panther: Mystery Cat of the Appalachians (Paperback)
A very good book on the historical presence of North America's largest cat. Full of interesting anectdotes, photos and stories that brought the presence of this large cat to life for eastern North America. A very good read if you want to learn about this large cat, where it use to be found and why has it disapeared from our landscape.
