humanimalia-14037	Craig, Andrew	Bigfoot Swims in the Garden of Eden: A History of Hellbenders and American Cultural Identity	2024	38	.pdf	application/pdf	13841	702	47	Working to define themselves as American cit- izens who could govern a modern nation after the American Revo- lution, American men again echoed both Indigenous narratives of hellbender encounters as well as colonial observers’ hellbender fan- tasies in the descriptions they produced about hellbenders as they worked to classify and name this “peculiar” species as a particularly American animal. In the first decades of the twentieth century, hellbender encounters would continue to play a role in a larger debate about the relation- ship between American men and animals that drove the creation of modern American environmental conservation.	cache/humanimalia-14037.pdf	txt/humanimalia-14037.txt
