Taken By Bear In Yellowstone: More Than A Century Of Harrowing Encounters Between Grizzlies And Humans Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Humans and grizzly bears have been coming into contact in Yellowstone National Park ever since it was founded in 1872. Most of these encounters have ended peacefully, but many have not. In order to most accurately tell the stories of those involved in the more deadly incidents, Kathleen Snow went directly to the source: the National Park Service archives. With help from personnel at park headquarters, Snow has collected more than 100 years' worth of hair-raising stories that read like crime scene investigations and provide hard-learned lessons in outdoor safety. A must-read for fans of Death in Yellowstone and anyone fascinated by human-animal interactions.

As someone who has visited and hiked in Yellowstone about a dozen times, I found this compilation very interesting. While I am always cautious, and carry bear spray, it was sobering to read this summary of attacks. What I found most interesting was the number of non-lethal injuries...those are the encounters one doesn't necessarily hear about.
This was a good read for bear enthusiasts and those who want to stay safe in bear country.
Liked it/ I travel to Yellowstone a lot
Interesting reading!
loved it.......took it on vacation......first day back today......was going to post tonight.......awesome......
