This review is from: The Adventures Of James Capen Adams: Mountaineer And Grizzly Bear Hunter Of California (1911) (Hardcover)

an increadible glimpse into what i consider the most striking man of that historical time period.a man far removed from hunting laws , political correctness, peta,animal rights,etc. he did alot of killing of creatures, but cared and even loved these animals more than the "animal lovers" of today could ever profess themselves to be. he was a believer in the creator as a sovereign, and understood gods appointment to man over the animal kingdom. he was a man of what seems to be at times reckless courage and bravery in the face of grave danger, to the point the indians in the area were in awe of him.they called him the "great white hunter", but he would down play that title and just call his skill "common sense". his ability to traverse hundred of miles of mountian ranges and deserts,with not only himself to take care of but the careful watch over his animals and the other men with him make an incridible read. lewis and clark are lucky adams came after them. quite a man indeed. ive read this book many times and it still delivers exciting reading. every hunter since adams should read this book and feel very still if they are honest.----t.p.s.
