Download or read book Down from the Mountain written by Bryce Andrews and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a grizzly bear named Millie: her life, death, and cubs, and what they reveal about the changing character of the American West. An "ode to wildness and wilderness" (Outside Magazine), Down from the Mountain tells the story of one grizzly in the changing Montana landscape. Millie was cunning, a fiercely protective mother to her cubs. But raising those cubs in the mountains was hard, as the climate warmed and people crowded the valleys. There were obvious dangers, like poachers, and subtle ones, like the corn field that drew her into sure trouble. That trouble is where award-winning writer, farmer, and conservationist Bryce Andrews's story intersects with Millie’s. In this "welcome and impressive work" he shows how this drama is "the core of a major problem in the rural American West—the disagreement between large predatory animals and invasive modern settlers”—an entangled collision where the shrinking wilds force human and bear into ever closer proximity (Barry Lopez). “Andrews’s wonderful Down from the Mountain is deeply informed by personal experience and made all the stronger by his compassion and measured thoughts . . . Welcome and impressive work.”—Barry Lopez

Book excerpt: ~~ Most great stories are built on the premise of the following five elements: 1) Have a character. 2) A character who wants something. 3) Some obstacle stands in that character's way of achieving their wants. 4) How did that character maneuver around the obstacle? 5) Did that character succeed or fail in their endeavor? ~~ But what if the wants never materialized? What if the obstacles appeared first? ~~ Oakland, Ca. Three brothers. Eight Felonies. A weaponized packet of mayonnaise. Mangy dogs. Polyester Players. One leap through a window during a bad acid trip. Crashed cars. Paranoid delusions. In the 1980's, Squeaky, Gene and Joe had a rapacious alcohol and drug appetite. Their bewildered parents, Rose and Henry, moved to Berkeley from Oakland. That's when the real fun began. By the time vapid materialism came to define the decade, all three brothers were living in a virtual Metallica mosh-pit. Then one of them turned up missing, and was presumed murdered.~~ How do you go from acting first, then asking questions later ... to asking questions first, then acting? Not easily. But in order to achieve that Sisyphean accomplishment... other obstacles have to be overcome. Grizzly Peak straddles the edge of a psychological butcher knife. Enter the trip, for a night you'll never forget, even though you may not remember it.

Download or read book Night of the Grizzlies written by Jack Olsen and published by Crime Rant Books. This book was released on 1969 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than half a century, grizzly bears roamed free in the national parks without causing a human fatality. Then in 1967, on a single August night, two campers were fatally mauled by enraged bears -- thus signaling the beginning of the end for America's greatest remaining land carnivore. Night of the Grizzlies, Olsen's brilliant account of another sad chapter in America's vanishing frontier, traces the causes of that tragic night: the rangers' careless disregard of established safety precautions and persistent warnings by seasoned campers that some of the bears were acting "funny"; the comforting belief that the great bears were not really dangerous -- would attack only when provoked. The popular sport that summer was to lure the bears with spotlights and leftover scraps -- in hopes of providing the tourists with a show, a close look at the great "teddy bears." Everyone came, some of the younger campers even making bold enough to sleep right in the path of the grizzlies' known route of arrival. This modern "bearbaiting" could have but one tragic result…
