Mark of the Grizzly Scott McMillion
Globe Pequot 1560446366 / 9781560446361 New Softcover
Every year, somewhere in grizzly country, someone comes face-to-face with the Great Bear and is attacked. The power of the grizzly is legend and almost beyond our own powers of imagination. Mark of the Grizzly leaves nothing to the imagination or to legend. The book collects the true stories of 18 attacks by grizzlies between 1977 and 1997. Like any good investigator, Scott McMillion thoroughly examines each mauling and its aftermath. The people in these stories are from all walks of life - hikers, hunters, runners, wildlife photographers, and biologists in the field. They meet up with the Great Bear in Yellowstone and Glacier national parks, in Alaska, Montana, British Columbia. For most of these people, the mark left by the bears is one of lasting fear, but also of respect; in some cases, reverence. These survivors tell a gripping story. In the fatal attacks recounted here, many mysteries remain. But these are not mystery stories or horror stories. The terror of a grizzly attack has the power to teach us how to behave in the presence of these magnificent animals and how to avoid dangerous encounters. This blend of lesson and terror makes for a book you'll find hard to put down. Must read for anyone interested in these magnificant creatures - filled with the true stories of recent bear attacks.
