"Bluegrass Bigfoot: Encounters with the Kentucky Wildman Vol. 1" by Charles E. Raymond

Recently I grabbed a nice warm beverage at Daniel Boone Coffee at the Gorge (I love that place).  I always check their merch area, because they have the best stuff.

I was super happy to find signed copies of Charles R. Raymond's "Bluegrass Bigfoot:  Encounters with the Kentucky Wildman."  Of course I picked it up.  It is a fun, quick read, but it has some interesting info for fans of the cryptid and sightings of it in Kentucky.

There were some interesting stories from areas I know well (Horse Cave, Daviess County, Mammoth Cave, etc.).  Other strange things come up too (Lizard Man and giant skeletons).  Unlike some books, these are mostly brief summaries of eye witness accounts the author has collected, and that he feels have some legitimacy.

The author is in the "Bigfoot is flesh and blood" camp, so there are no Keelish UFO stories.

The author isn't trying to poetically describe stuff in excessive detail.  You are getting the fun facts of the accounts efficiently, making this a fun, easy read for anyone interested in bigfoot.
