Last month at the Mothman Festival I met Ronald L. Murphy Jr. and picked up a couple of his books. I recently read one of those books - On Wildman: Tracking Bigfoot Through History.
On Wildman takes a look at hairy, man-like creatures throughout history. Ron examines legends of giants, Grendel, and tales of apeman beings from the Bible and Epic of Gilgamesh, etc. He explores Greek and Roman legends of wild men, satyrs, the Green Man, and things of the sort.
Ron's book shows that the archetype of a large, hairy, man-like creature (like Bigfoot or Yeti) is nothing new. Though it isn't very long, it is packed with information and is probably one of the best books on historical Bigfoot-type stuff I've read (and I have over 200 cryptid books!).
If you are someone who has an interest in Bigfoot, definitely check out this book. And, if you are someone who is more skeptical, you should check it out too - and see that Bigfoot is not just a modern legend!
