Summary "Bears I Have Met—and Others" by Allen Kelly is a collection of bear stories written in the early 20th century. The book draws from a rich tapestry of the author's real-life experiences and observations while hunting and interacting with bears on the Pacific Slope, primarily focusing on the California Grizzly. It explores the nature, behavior, and myths surrounding bears, along with the tales of those who sought to hunt them, delivering both entertainment and insights into human-animal interactions. The opening of "Bears I Have Met—and Others" sets the stage for a vivid blend of personal anecdotes and reflections on the bears encountered by the author. The preface underlines an affection for these denizens of the forest, challenging prevalent misconceptions about their ferocity while recounting various thrilling encounters with these creatures. The initial chapter introduces readers to the infamous California Grizzly, detailing its fearsome reputation as a man-killer and the complexities of its behavior. Kelly illustrates how encounters can vary wildly based on individual bears, presenting a nuanced view that human legends often miss the deeper truths about these remarkable animals.
