Summary
Roe reported a close visual encounter near Tête Jaune Cache. The 1957 sworn account is valuable because several diagnostic morphology details appear early, before modern Bigfoot media culture.
Background & context
Roe's value to the archive is primarily chronological: several diagnostic morphology descriptions are present in a comparatively early sworn account rather than appearing only in later media retellings.
Location is shown at research-relevant regional/event level, not as private residential information.
