This book tells the stories that our parents/grandparents/great-grandparents probably didn't.

Grizzly Adams, the Old Yankee Bear Tamer, became a legend in his own time through his exploits in San Francisco's Gold Rush days, his capture and taming of grizzly bears and other wild animals in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and his association with the circus man, P.T.

His wife, Cylena, and their three young children carried on without him for ten long years, Grizzly returning to them only when he knew he was dying.
