Harry R. Caldwell was a Methodist missionary to southern China. In Blue Tiger, first published in 1924, he wrote about several of his adventures in that country. An avid hunter and amateur naturalist, he noted the challenges of hunting big-game like serow, big-horn, wapiti, boar, and tiger. He described how hunting man-killing tigers paved the way for effective mission work, and spent several chapters discussing the political landmines of trying to affect peace between soldiers and bandits in an effort to spare villagers caught between the fighting. Of particular interest, Caldwell described a fascinating creature, a blue-morph tiger, that he attempted to capture for science. This non-facsimile reprint includes an additional appendix has been added, in which Roy Chapman Andrews described the hunt for the blue tiger.

Long before Bigfoot was fixed as a cultural icon in American folklore, people encountered hairy wild men and gorilla-like beasts in the woods, the mountains, and the creek bottoms. Strange cries and enormous footprints were met with hunts and posses, to no avail. Not until 1958 did the popular understanding of Bigfoot arise to suggest a possible answer to the puzzle. This book surveys the historical Bigfoot, providing the researcher and enthusiast with data on hoaxes, misidentifications, fokloric patterns, and cases which suggest the presence of an as-yet-unidentified primate in North America.
