Old Grizzly: To a Better Understanding of Life on the Frontier

by Charles Deutschmann

Speaker 2 shows and discusses this book, describing it as 'phenomenal.' It's identified as self-published journals about a man who killed 56 grizzly bears in Western Canada between 1895 and 1924. The speakers then read several passages from the book about frontier life, including hunting muskrats, pulling trees for settlers, and the killing of Robert Ford (who killed Jesse James).
