Bear Tales for the Ages: From Alaska and Beyond

by Larry Kaniut

Overview

In Bear Tales for the Ages: From Alaska and Beyond, best-selling author Larry Kaniut serves up twenty-eight riveting stories of encounters with this four-legged wonder of the woods, selected from a vast collection of bear books in the author's personal library. Many of these true stories are classics in bear encounter lore and every single one is a page-turner. Larry hopes their inclusion in this volume will keep these amazing stories alive for a new generation of readers. Chapters include a Montana grizzly ambushing a sheep herder, claw-knife fights with bears, an Inupiat man hunting grizzlies with a .22 single-shot rifle, dogs versus bears, and hunting down a man-killer brownie.

About the Author

LARRY KANIUT grew up in the Pacific Northwest but he and his young bride headed to Anchorage, Alaska, in 1967 so Larry could take a teaching position. In 1975, Larry released "Alaska Bear Tales", the first in a series of popular books about adventures in the Alaskan wilderness. During the four decades that the Kaniuts have lived in Alaska, Larry has had some adventures of his own, spending summers working at construction, carpentry, commercial fishing or assistant guiding. He's also done a little trapping and gold prospecting. Larry recently rebuilt a wrecked Super Cub so that he could pursue his latest passion of flying.
