Welsh), New York, 1939. OP. The old days recalled with
upspringing sympathy. Canada--but buffaloes and buffalo
hunters were pretty much the same everywhere.

WILLIAMS, O. W. A privately printed letter of eight unnumbered

Bears and Bear Hunters
THE BEAR, whether black or grizzly, is a great American
citizen. Think of how many children have been put to sleep
with bear stories! Facts about the animal are fascinating; the
effect he has had on the minds of human beings associated with
him transcends naturalistic facts. The tree on which Daniel
Boone carved the naked fact that here he "Killed A. Bar In the
YEAR 1760" will never die. Davy Crockett killed 105 bars in
one season, and his reputation as a bar hunter, plus ability
to tell about his exploits, sent him to Congress.
