Great Falls, Montana
The site of the Portage of the Great Falls and
one of the greatest battles between
Man and Grizzlies ever recorded
You would have to read the
"Journals of Lewis and Clark"
to get the "Grizzly" details.
Could you imagine today your boss tells you
to go tease a giant angry Grizzly bear?
Then have it chase you into an ambush
and your co-workers have to shoot it
with single shot black powder guns
before the bear catches you?
It worked out and they did get skins and bear fat.
but still, someone had a ruff day on the job.
Every one of these people were as tough as humans can be.
Very tame these days in Great Falls but the Grizzlies
Have been moving back out onto the plains.
Stay tuned...
