I bought a copy of "Bigfoot South: Examining Cryptozoology's Greatest Mystery In the Southern United States (Expanded Edition)" directly from author Chester Moore at the recent Tennessee Cryptid and Wildman Con. I was really happy to score this one.
Moore's book is a nice, easy read about mostly bigfoot in the South. Giving the volume cred is an intro by Lyle Blackburn.
Moore has many stories from witnesses that are interesting to read. Something I really appreciated was the authors thoughtful contemplation on how a population of the creatures could exist with very little detection. Chester Moore is very much an outdoorsman.... He knows animals and has worked with all sorts of critters around the world. His thoughts, and explanations make sense. AND he is not a "Bigfoot is supernatural" guy.
The book reminded me a bit of Jeff Meldrum's work, but Moore is much more accessible.
