Bigfoot Book Review: Giants, Cannibals, and Monsters by Kathy Moskowitz Strain

First, I noticed that two California Indian tribes, the Me-Wuk and the Shasta had legends that said Bigfoot had carried a large basket on his back into which he put his meat - humans. The Me-Wuk called these baskets "burden-baskets" and said they were filled with humans. The Shasta said bad things were put into the baskets and a boy captured by Bigfoot believed there were people in the basket. However, the Bigfoot hid the baskets from him. Three years ago, I wrote a note from my reading that a missionary, Elikanah Walker, had written to his superiors about a race in Giants where he was working with the Indians in the North-West. These giants had feet a foot and a half long, and they took Indians while they were sleeping and carried them back to their land at the top of a snow-covered mountain. See Next Post
