He picked me up, swung me over his head and actually threw me like I was a feather pillow. I landed on a rock several feet away, barely hitting the ground before the bear was on top of me, chewing up my upper right leg." - From Ben Moore's story beginning on page 128 Stories of terror, adventure, brutality, and even humor made the best seller Alaska Bear Tales a national phenomenon. With this second volume of gripping, true-life bear stories, author Larry Kaniut drives home the ever-present danger of encounters with the most fearsome creature in Alaska.
From backyard to backcountry, from the gruesome to the educational, More Alaska Bear Tales is vintage Alaska adventure. More, more, more of what you loved in Alaska Bear Tales. Kaniut succeeds in making the point that bears are not bad. They simply are what they are - fascinating, powerful and often unpredictable animals, vengeful when injured and protective of their young and their turf. In other words, not unlike us. - The Milwaukee Sentinel Table of Contents Introduction The Hunt Close Calls Ursus Humorous No Escape (includes mauling table) Bears In Man's World Survival by Any Means Index |
