October 6, 1958 - A Very Slow News Day Part 3
This is the third episode of a multi-episode series on the events that took place in 1958 in the area around Bluff Creek in northern California. The front page of the October 5, 1958 edition of the Humboldt Time in Eureka, CA featured a photograph of a respectable looking gentleman holding a plaster cast of a 16 inch footprint, one of many the gentleman in question, one Jerry Crew, had found at his job site near Bluff Creek in northern CA. The accompanying front page article related, among other things, how the road construction crew had taken to calling the maker of those footprints bigfoot. The Associated Press Wire service picked up the story and on Monday, October 6, the story went nationwide. Yes, fellow babies, October 6, 1958 has gone down in history as the very slow news day on which bigfoot entered American culture. We're going to take an in-depth look at the events leading up to the publication and the aftermath of the publication.
