    Paperback (Roberts Rinehart, July 1, 1991)
    1991 Denver Museum of Natural History oversize softcover(trade paperback), Sandra C. Robinson (The Everywhere Bear). "The cat known as cougar, panther, painter, mountain lion, puma, catamount and three dozen other names was officially extirpated in the East by 1938, when the last wild cougar was shot in Maine, but reports of them have never ceased. Sparse and scattered in the early twentieth century, by the last quarter of it cougar sightings swelled to such a volume that they have become a phenomenon in themselves. The eastern cougar is a mythic presence. I cast my mind in search of it, as I walk through my hundred acres of woods along the flank of Cross Mountain."- Angelfire.com
