Thomas D. "Thom" Cantrall is a fourth generation native of the west and he grew up on stories of Sasquatch. He was stimulated greatly by the 1958 accounts of Jerry Crew and the huge tracks being found around their construction equipment near Thom's northern California home. He lived his life out of doors where these tales took on a new sense of wonder and immediacy.

Doctor Jeffrey Meldrum is, without a doubt the most knowledgeable authority on tracks and trackways of the creature we know as Sasquatch. Professor Meldrum has in his Possession the largest catalog of track casts from a large, bipedal primate made all across North America. This library consists of well over two hundred casts of tracks of all sizes.
Professor Meldrum has stated, on one of his many appearances on "Monster Quest" or one of the other History, Discovery, or National Geographic Channel appearances, that it is not necessary to have a physical body to prove that a species exists when the preponderance of evidence so indicates. I would assume that this body of evidence needed to create this "preponderance" in the case of sasquatch would have to be enormous, indeed.
The most important feature found on the best of castings are Dermal Ridges. These are the "Fingerprints", the lines on the skin that make each track individual and distinct. Research done by Mr. Jimmy Chilcutt, a forensic print examiner out of Texas has shown that the ridges on human prints are horizontal to the long axis of the foot while the ridges on the apes are diagonal to the long axis of the foot and the ridges on sasquatch are vertical to the long axis of the foot.
An extremely important aspect of examining a trackway in the wild is to know that there are changes
in the shape and position of individual toes, etc. from track to track.
