California's Day of the Grizzly

Prominent California historian William B Secrest, Sr. (California Desperadoes, When the Great Spirit Died) tells the fascinating story of the most ferocious animal in the West and how it met it's demise at the hand of man. Grizzlies were slaughtered out of fear, used for meat, and even forced to fight with bulls for the sheer sport of it. California's Day of the Grizzly includes the story of the life of greatest bear man of them all -- Grizzly Adams! As with all of Secrest's books this one is lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs and engravings.
