From the Foreword-- The Grizzly Bear by William H. Wright, first
published in 1909, is one of the best all-around books ever written
on the subject. It is both highly informative and entertaining. . .
. Wright began as a bear-hunter, and an extraordinarily successful
one. He pitted his own strength, endurance, ingenuity, skill,
knowledge, and craftiness against that of the grizzlies. . . . His
most remarkable achievement as a hunter was killing five grizzlies
with five shots, which he called "the greatest bag of grizzlies
that I have ever made single-handed." . . . His book shows a hunter
becoming a naturalist: Wright first studied the grizzly in order to
hunt him, then he came to hunt him in order to study him. The
Grizzly Bear treats the early history of the grizzly as recorded by
the white man and the life and escapades of James Capen "Grizzly"]
Adams, and most important it recounts the true-life experiences of
Wright himself. Although I have spent some eighteen years studying
the grizzly, eight of them intensively, there are few points on
which I would take issue with the accuracy of Wright's observations
o his interpretations of what he saw--Frank C. Craighead, Jr. Frank
C. Craighead Jr. is director of the Environmental Research Center,
Moose, Wyoming, and teaches at the State University of New York,
Albany.
