Of Bears and Man

University of Oklahoma Press, 1986. Hard cover. Very Good/Good. 9x6x1. Calvert, Lissa. Have you ever had to kill a bear? The famed outdoor writer Mike Cramond often asked that question of hunters, naturalists, and bear-attack victims as he crisscrossed North America interviewing people whose lives, like his own, have been changed by bears. Cramond's intent is to temper the views of the average person, who sees bears only in misleading advertisements and TV shows that produce a false sense of security. He wants people to know what he has learned from a lifetime of association with the great North American Bears and from interviews with bear specialists and surviving attack victims. Mike Cramond was a hunting guide, game warden, newspaperman, & provincial policeman in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is the author of "Hunting & Fishing in North America", "A Bear Behind", & "Fishin' Holes of the West".
