A summary from Daniel Perez's website Bigfoot Times, "In the early 1920s, Richard Marsh was sent by Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone to look for suitable rubber lands. He unsuccessfully explored the region between the [Panama] Canal and Costa Rica as the land was irregular for large-scale rubber growing. In consequence, he explored the Darien region that remained unexplored in that years. Marsh sought some 'white-Indians' in the region and came back to the United States to organize a scientific expedition in the Darien. The expedition lasted between 1924-1925 and was called the Marsh Darien Expedition. Chapter 'Some Tales Of Darien,' pages 18-21 makes mention of Bigfoot like creatures."
