	Tom Slick: True Life Encounters in Cryptozoology
		Tom Slick lived in a fast-paced world of intrigue, mystery, unpublished treks, and secret meetings.
		This incredible story of Texas millionaire Tom Slick's quest for the Abominable Snowmen, Bigfoot, Giant Salamanders, Orang Pendek, and other cryptids (creatures unknown to science) reveals a life made for the movies.
		Fascinating accounts of Slick's early brushes with adventure such as his stepfather's abduction by George "Machine Gun" Kelly in 1933, and his early explorations of Loch Ness are followed by his later expeditions into Nepal and the Pacific Northwest in search of the Yeti and its counterpart, the Sasquatch.

	Pangboche Hand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tom Slick first heard accounts of the possible existence of a "Yeti hand" held as a ritual artifact in the monastery at Pangboche during one of his first "Abominable Snowman" treks in 1957.
		On later Tom Slick-sponsored expeditions in and around the Himalayas, his associates gathered more information on the "Pangboche hand," and an effort to further examine the possible piece of evidence of a cryptid was planned.
		In 1959, a member of Slick's expedition that year, Peter Byrne, reportedly stole pieces of the artifact after the monks who owned it refused to allow its removal for study.
