I would say these people knew this creature from descriptions given by the natives and they made up the story of the capture.

If the capture story is true and the creatures were exhibited, bigfoot is no longer a cryptid today. JMHO.

I’m curious what kind of establishment was at #9 Elm St. in Boston back then. Maybe this was marketing gimmick aimed at drawing in potential customers.

Interesting. Intriguing. It’s tempting to comment on both the similarities and differences with modern accounts, but I’ll leave that for others. Nice article, Loren, thanks.
