http://www.henryfranzoni.com/itsos.htmlQUOTE
Seatco is a nineteenth century term from the Chinook Jargon, the one-time trade language of the Pacific Northwest. Indians described the Seatco as a mysterious tribe of Indians that possessed puzzling powers... among which was their ability to kill game with hypnotic power and their ability to turn invisible. Since the 1920s, modern society has disregarded Indian wisdom about the Seatco as superstition and myth, coinciding with the rise of mechanism and reductionism and the defeat of vitalism in institutional science. Institutional science has found no place for the Seatco (known today as the Sasquatch).. After 50 years of cursory interest, institutional science has acquired no hard evidence that they exist. However, the places the Indians said they lived still exist. Explore the location of over 4000 early place names and embark on a quest to find out if the Seatco are still there. Accompany the author as he seeks to understand the puzzling powers of the Seatco... exploring the possible connections between science and spirituality... between Indian wisdom and the discarded 19th century idea of “field lines” as well as the long abandoned scientific school of thought named "vitalism”. Learn about a possible explanation for the puzzling powers of the Seatco using the 19th century theories of Faraday, Maxwell, Tesla, and the vitalists. Journey across North America and learn how extrordinary proof of their theories awaits discovery in the high and lonely realm of the Seatco.

I have been privileged to have had the chance to review Henry's manuscript. I think that it is a helpful adjunct to Bigfoot literature. You don't have to believe the hodgepodge of theories he proposes. You have to wonder if some of the more novel of the physics theories may apply to the enigma of Bigfoot however. I personally wonder about the magnetic field lines and whether they may have something to do with the utility of dousing that folks apparently can use to locate various underground resources. If that is the case, maybe dousers would have some insight into areas of high strangeness and possibly Bigfoot. Anyone know of such co-occurrences?

This promises to be a good read, Henry is a fascinating guy.

It's going to be an excellent read whether you agree with Henry's point of view or not just for the historical Native American point of view is going to make this book a must for my library. I can't wait to buy this!

I'm sure you will enjoy it then, I've reviewed it and I think it is some useful thinking and information.

At $59.95 plus shipping, Henry can wait a very long time before I read his book.

No but I hear the pages can be used for other purposes in a pinch.

I'm sure its a great book, but if Henry seriously wants people to read it (and he clearly does or he woudln't have spent so much time on this forum typing "read my book"), then he is obviously on a completley different planet if he thinks more than a handful of people are going to pay that sort of money for his book.
As we say over here, I think he is away with the faeries.
Seriously folks, this makes it the single most expansive book on the subject of bigfoot - Franzoni obviously has a very high opinion of himself.

I believe the book is so expensive because Henry self published it in small batches.
Paul1968UK

Maybe so, but there are plenty of inexpensive self-publishing options including inexpensive print-on-demand services.
If Henry isn't capable of doing the research and finding them, it doesn't say much for his ability to research anything else does it?

Seems Thom Powell has a glowing, very positive review of Henry's book, claiming it makes his book obsolete, here:

I can't wait for Discovery day, when off of this sort of stuff becomes obsolete(not that it isn't already, moments after being "published".)...
I agree nightwing...
But I'll wager the obsolescence will not be recognized by all...
Delusions are dynamic, after all...

Why the slap at me? I had never even talked to Henry before we interviewed him on "Let's Talk Bigfoot"....so how was he quietly available to me? Is Thom inferring that even though I have an MA in Anthropology, I stole Henry's idea of talking to Natives about their beliefs in bigfoot? If that was so, shouldn't the credit go to J. W. Burns, not Henry?

Thats exactly what Powell is accusing you of, but no matter, most of us aren't interested in what Powell has to say anyway.

I think Powell's swipe at you is because you debunked the Burned Bigfoot of Battle Mtn. (which was in his book) and showed him to be either a fabricator of evidence or a gullible fool. (
edited to add that those are my opinions - not Hairy Man's)
His post (link below) is followed by your pointing out the actual facts again in the thread.
