My Memories of the Alaska Brown Bear

   While in Alaska I never shot a bear and no bear ever bit or clawed me. However, several of those big critters scared the beans out of me, up close and personal.
   I also watched several autopsies on the mutilated bodies of brown bear victims. The awesome power of those brutes caused unbelievable harm to the guys who didn't get out of their way fast enough.
   No one really seemed to have a surefire way of beating an Alaska Brown in his home domain.
   This quote pretty well describes what I came to believe about dancing with bears in Alaska:

A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice.
                       (Quote From Edgar Watson Howe)

Pithy American newspaperman Edgar Watson Howe was known as the "Sage of Potato Hill." He was born in Indiana in 1853. He learned the printing trade at his father's shop. He left home at age 14 and by age 18, he was editing a local paper in Colorado. In 1877, he established the Atchison, Kansas, Daily Globe. He also wrote fiction; his most successful novel, The Story of a Country Town, was a bleak portrayal of life on the prairie. He died in 1937.
