From Columbia County's "Kinderhook Creature" to the famed Himalayan Yeti, Bigfoot-like beings have long been reputed to roam the earth, leaving large humanoid footprints in their hairy wake. October's New York State Library exhibit explored this mysterious phenomenon from a wide range of perspectives. It also includes books about the Loch Ness Monster (and other lake and river leviathans), general works on cryptozoology, and spooky stories from around the state in honor of Halloween. In addition, it features The Wilderness Hunter by Theodore Roosevelt, which contains an astonishing account of a fateful Sasquatch encounter in Idaho around 1890; and three books by NYSL employee Bruce Hallenbeck, who spoke about Bigfoot and his latest work, Monsters of New York , in the Museum's Huxley Theater on Saturday, October 12, 2013. Display Case 1: I Saw Bigfoot. Encounters with Bigfoot in the United States are numerous, widespread, and of very long standing.

The Bauman Story: As Told to Theodore Roosevelt. In The Wilderness Hunter , first published in 1893, Theodore Roosevelt recounts a story told to him by a hunter named Bauman. The man and a companion had gone hunting in the mountains of Idaho when they encountered what appeared to be a Sasquatch; angry at having been shot at, the Bigfoot vandalized their campsite. This amazing incident ends tragically when Bauman's friend is ultimately killed by the creature. Roosevelt writes: He must have believed what he said, for he could hardly repress a shudder at certain points of the tale; but he was of German ancestry, and in childhood had doubtless been saturated with all kinds of ghost and goblin lore, so that many fearsome superstitions were latent in his mind; besides, he knew well the stories told by the Indian medicine men in their winter camps, of the snowwalkers, and the specters, and the formless evil beings that haunt the forest depths, and dog and waylay the lonely wanderer who after nightfall passes through the regions where they lurk; and it may be that when overcome by the horror of the fate that befell his friend, and when oppressed by the awful dread of the unknown, he grew to attribute, both at the time and still more in remembrance, weird and elfin traits to what was merely some abnormally wicked and cunning wild beast; but whether this was so or not, no man can say…. The Wilderness Hunter , various editions, [1893-1902] Spook Now or Forever Hold Your Peace. Are we scared yet? Some people think Bigfoot is more of a spirit or an alien than an actual earth-bound animal. Assorted beasties and weirdies, ghosts and goblins—plus other things that go bump in the New York night.

    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 6:33-170 (2017) Book Section Reprint THE STRUGGLE FOR TROGLODYTES1 Boris Porshnev "I have no doubt that some fact may appear fantastic and incredible to many of my readers. For example, did anyone believe in the existence of Ethiopians before seeing any? Isn't anything seen for the first time astounding? How many things are thought possible only after they have been achieved?" (Pliny, Natural History of Animals, Vol. VII, 1) INTRODUCTION BERNARD HEUVELMANS Doctor in Zoological Sciences How did I come to study animals, and from the study of animals known to science, how did I go on to that of still undiscovered animals, and finally, more specifically to that of unknown humans? It's a long story. For me, everything started a long time ago, so long ago that I couldn't say exactly when. Of course it happened gradually. Actually – I have said this often – one is born a zoologist, one does not become one. However, for the discipline to which I finally ended up fully devoting myself, it's different: one becomes a cryptozoologist. Let's specify right now that while Cryptozoology is, etymologically, "the science of hidden animals", it is in practice the study and research of animal species whose existence, for lack of a specimen or of sufficient anatomical fragments, has not been officially recognized. I should clarify what I mean when I say "one is born a zoologist. Such a congenital vocation would imply some genetic process, such as that which leads to a lineage of musicians or mathematicians.

Rennie Bere Mysterious footprints in the Himalayan snows have been reported at intervals since early in the 19th Century. So have tales of monsters, whether man-like apes or ape-like men is never quite clear. Similar stories are told in many coun­ tries, though the Himalayan versions do seem to have more substance than most. They are often accompanied by eye-witness accounts which, however, are difficult to substantiate and inclined to be suspect; unsophisticated people like the Sherpas do not easily distinguish direct evidence from hearsay or re­ ality from myth. There are few recorded European sightings of any relevance but this is not surprising as climbing parties are rarely silent and have other objectives in mind. The position thus is that if the footprints and genuine sightings are not attributable to animals already known to science-and several large mammals occasionally move up to considerable altitudes in the Hima­ laya and adjacent ranges-the creature concerned must be the Yeti, the term which will be used in"this article. If such an animal exists it must surely be a primate, presumably an ape not a hominid.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

  • Notes on Sources and Monster Historiography
    Notes on Sources and Monster Historiography Those who searched for manlike monsters in the twentieth century— not as metaphors, but as flesh and blood organisms—have gone largely overlooked by academic historians of science. This field, as with cryp- tozoology in general, became the domain of independent amateur chroniclers producing a range of works of varying quality.1 An excel- lent explanation of what cryptozoology attempts to do is found in Chad Arment’s Cryptozoology: Science and Speculation.2 Since the 1960s, scholarly works on anomalous primates, and cryptids in gen- eral, look to place them in the realm of legend and myth: creations of the human mind rather than of evolution.3 These works tend to fall under what Jeffrey Cohen called “monster theory.”4 Works taking an empirical, physical anthropology approach include Gill, Meldrum, and Bindernagel.5 Recent writings have begun to address the lives of the monster hunters, but follow the tradition of focusing on the folkloric and pop culture nature of Bigfoot rather than on the natural history element, and not on the place of cryptozoology in the context of the history of science. This category tends to lean to the exposé or dismissive side.6 Of use to the discussion of monsters in general are scholarly works that attempt to put studies of human monsters into the history of biological systemization and classification.7 A number of methodological issues need to be addressed in the historiography of anomalous primate studies. There are papers col- lections of leading researchers. Grover Krantz, Bernard Heuvelmans, and Ivan Sanderson have accessible materials, as do Carleton Coon and George Agogino.
