Terrible maulings, terrifying close calls, and even humorous escapades are all part of this first-ever collection of Montana bear stories. 14 stories -- all true -- involve grizzly bears and black bears and the people who had the luck (usually bad) to encounter them. Exceptionally, well told by a Kalispell, Montana author.

A wonderful collection of bear stories...,

This review is from: Great Montana Bear Stories (Paperback)
I read this book after reading "Great Wyoming Bear Stories" (which was actually written after this book, and is intended to be a companion piece) and really enjoyed the stories and writing that Ben Long employed in this collection. Many of the tales go back to the late 19th/early 20th century, and into the present. I wouldnt call it a definitive book on the behavior of bears (if you are looking for that information, read something written by Stephen Herrero). Nonetheless, this is absolutely a great collection of stories concerning both grizzlies and black bears. My only complaint is that it wasnt longer. Definitely worth reading.

A Montanan's review,
This review is from: Great Montana Bear Stories (Paperback)
My mother loves bear stories and is constantly trying to get me to read them. She had just got Ben's book for her summer reading and I was lucky enough to spend most of my vacation with it. It is a great read and has provoked alot of discussion around the dinner table.
Be sure to read Ben's book on Lewis and Clark, too.
