By A Customer

This review is from: Sasquatch/Bigfoot: The Search for North America's Incredible Creature (Paperback)

I personally know Rene Dahinden,have been to his home,and spent time in the woods with him searching for sasquatch. He is a serious,quiet man.He has spent most of his life investigating this mysterious creature.The amount of data he has compiled is amazing.Rene is not one given to exaggeration,he always tells it like it is.When it comes to big foot,he doesn't need to embellish.Rene is the reason the only legitimate film ever taken of bigfoot exists.It was Rene's information that led Roger Patterson to Bluff Creek,California in the 1960s.Many people have seen the short footage taken by Patterson,few know Rene Dahinden's involvement.This book is factual.If you want to explore the mystery behind 100s of years of lore,read Rene's book.You will be educated,entertained and amazed.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is good, but, dated, April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sasquatch-Bigfoot : The Search for North America's Incredible Creature (Paperback)

The book is interesting in its' historical perspective. However, Dahinden's work is dated and he has not contributed much to the field in years. I would agree that every book shelf needs a copy, though.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book about bigfoot and the bigfoot hunter., October 11, 2003

This review is from: Sasquatch-Bigfoot : The Search for North America's Incredible Creature (Paperback)

This is a very good book about Rene Dahinden who has since past away. Rene was the ultimate bigfoot hunter but one who should be respected because even though Rene spent most of his adult life in search of the creature he never found it. In fact Rene never claimed that bigfoot was real or that it existed at all. He was just interested in learning what he could.

Rene came to Canada from Switzerland in the 50's. He was one of the organizers behind the Harrison Hot Springs B.C. Centennial celebrations in which he started a monster hunter competition for the elusive creature.

It is a remarkable story about someone who turned up lots of new things sasquatch related but never once saw a bigfoot himself. His story revolves around his work with John Green and his failling out with the same man. Rene is one of the first sasquatch hunters to investigate the Bluff Creek footprints and was responsible for the release of the famous Patterson bigfoot film. He also worked closely with Russian bigfoot researchers and brought many of their findings to the west. This was an extremely important development in bigfoot research.

This is a very good book about Rene and his hunt for the sasquatch with lots of chapters that relate to the above. It is pretty much told in a way that doesn't try to push the idea that Sasquatch is real! and you will learn a lot about the history of sasquatch and how it all began right here within these pages.

This book is an excellent start to anyone who wants a good take on the whole bigfoot saga.
