Bigfoot and Sasquatch

[Mullins, Bill AMRDEC]

 The OED has Sasquatch going back to 1929.  It does not have an entry
for "Bigfoot", although it is used in quotes from 2000 (entry: "pepper"
v.),  2003 (entry: "picture" n.), and 1972 (under "yeti"); or "Big
Foot", although it is used in a quote from 1980 (entry: "yowie" n.).
