Was it merely an Indian legend told to early explorers, a story characteristic of the native's mythical culture? Or, were the stories of giant hairy man-like apes actual reports of an animal that has managed to mystify its researchers and elude western civilisation for nearly 300 years. This title concentrates on 23 sightings in Alberta and British Columbia.

Reports of the Sasquatch in Alberta, Canada,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sasquatch: Bigfoot : The Continuing Mystery (Paperback)
This volume deals with sightings primarily in the providence of Alberta, Canada. Most of the reports that have previously been published of this animal have been in British Columbia. It may surprise some readers that the Sasquatch has been reported in other providences. The writers style is a bit rambling, however he has personally investigated most of the sightings in this book. The reports are not as detailed as some other investigators in the field such as John Green, but this book is a good addition to anyone interested in this subject's library.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Steenberg's Alberta,
By
This review is from: Sasquatch: Bigfoot : The Continuing Mystery (Paperback)
Steenberg has several books out on the sasquatch phenomenon. For the size of this book (about 135 pages) it's really more of a thick pamphlet. The content within is limited but he is dealing with more localized people to the Alberta area, though he does jump into British Columbia in this book also. For a beginning book on the subject this is a good introduction into the sasquatch. It's by no means the best book on the subject but it will peak your interest. His second book, "Search for Giants" is much better. The 5 stars on this book is for it being easy to read, you can read it in a few hours, and the content vs page number is good. You don't get bogged down by listings of all the local names for a bigfoot. Just straight forward stories from alleged witnesses. The author lets you know he 'believes' in bigfoots but lets you decide on your own, he's not pushy about it in this book.
The nice part of his books is that he sticks to the areas he knows - Alberta, Canada. He does a great job in his retellings and 'research' of sightings/footprints. He covers many fresh stories and tends to stay away from the well known ones and U.S. occurances. Steenberg spends alot of time travelling and produces some good interviews, as seen in his other book. Easy and quick to read and pretty enjoyable because you aren't getting rehashings of all the popular stories (Bauman, Ape Canyon, Patterson/Gimlin, etc). These deal with the more private citizens that just happened to have witnessed something out of the ordinary. For a good coverage of Western Canada, pick up Steenberg's books and "Raincoast Sasquatch" by Robert Alley and you'll have some excellent reports thoroughly covering this region.
