In Bear Tales for the Ages: From Alaska and Beyond, best-selling author Larry Kaniut serves up twenty-eight riveting stories of encounters with this four-legged wonder of the woods, selected from a vast collection of bear books in the author's personal library. Many of these true stories are classics in bear encounter lore and every single one is a page-turner. Larry hopes their inclusion in this volume will keep these amazing stories alive for a new generation of readers. Chapters include a Montana grizzly ambushing a sheep herder, claw-knife fights with bears, an Inupiat man hunting grizzlies with a .22 single-shot rifle, dogs versus bears, and hunting down a man-killer brownie.
