In 1958, Eureka Times-Standard columnist Andrew Genzoli wrote "Giant footprints puzzle residents along Trinity River," where he coined the term "Bigfoot." In the style of the sagebrush school literary movement of tall tales & hoaxes popularized by Mark Twain, Genzoli wrote the article & followup articles. They sold papers & the wires carried the stories worldwide. In the '70s, Genzoli taught Humboldt Co history at College of the Redwoods where he told us this story.
