Legend has it that Daniel Boone once shot and killed a mysterious creature he called a "Yahoo" sometime between 1778 and 1779. Described as a huge, hairy, man-like beast, the story sounds eerily familiar to modern-day accounts of Bigfoot encounters. Boone wasn't the only historical figure to come face-to-face with something unexplainable in the deep woods. Less than six months before Davy Crockett was killed at the Alamo, he wrote a letter to his brother-in-law (Abner Burgin) in which he related his encounter with a large, hairy creature in the woods near Nacogdoches, Texas in 1836. Certainly, the description of the creature given by Crockett matches the classic description of a Bigfoot (a.k.a. Sasquatch). Were the reported Bigfoot encounters of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett based on fact, folklore, or a little bit of both? Well, that's what we hope to find out.
