Day of the Grizzly: The Exciting, Tragic Story of the Mighty California Grizzly

by William B Secrest

Overview

Lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs and engravings, this account tells the fascinating story of the most ferocious animal in the West and how it met its demise. Including the story of the greatest bear hunter of the period—Grizzly Adams—this examination discusses how grizzlies were slaughtered out of fear, used for meat, and forced to fight with bulls solely for sporting entertainment.
