Product Description
The thirty stories that make up this collection tell us a lot about bears-and a lot about people. For hunters like Frederic Remington and Theodore Roosevelt, the bear is the most cunning and unpredictable prey, the ultimate challenge. For naturalists such as William Wright and Fred Bruemmer, the bear is one of the most enigmatic members of the animal kingdom, intelligent and utterly untameable. For those who stray, either by accident or on purpose, beyond the borders of civilization, the bear is the embodiment of wilderness. As the novelist Edward Hoagland says in these pages, the bear is "the forest's reason for being."
