In February 1893, future US President Teddy Roosevelt published 'The Wilderness Hunter', a book recounting his youthful adventures in the Dakota territory. The memoir includes a story told to him by an old mountain man about an encounter with an ape-like creature in the woods. Trappers in the area experienced mysterious encounters with large creatures leaving man-like footprints. One trapper was found dead, his body broken over a log, and the incident was attributed to an 8-foot-tall, 600-pound creature.
