Book Information
Night of the Grizzlies by Jack Olsen
Synopsis: From the Book jacket:
For more than half a century, grizzly bears
roamed free in the national parks without
causing a human fatality. Then in 1967, on a
single August night, two campers were fatally
mauled by enraged bears-thus signaling the
beginning of the end for America's greatest
remaining land carnivore. Night of the
Grizzlies, Jack Olsen's brilliant account of
another sad chapter in America's vanishing
frontier, traces the causes of that tragic
night: the rangers' careless disregard of
established safety precautions and persistent
warnings by seasoned campers that some of the
bears were acting "funny"; the comforting belief
that the great bears were not really
dangerous?would attack only when provoked. The
popular sport that summer was to lure the bears
with spotlights and leftover scraps?in hopes of
providing the tourists with a show, a close look
at the great "teddy bears." Everyone came, some
of the younger campers even making bold enough
to sleep right in the path of the grizzlies'
known route of arrival.
This modern "bearbaiting" could have but one
tragic result Yet for all its ferocity, the
grizzly held a special place in the hearts of
conservationists, especially the men of the Park
Service, to whom the great beast-like the fierce
bald eagle?was considered an American hero, who
should be allowed to roam free and unfettered.
As Olsen writes: "Such heroes carry within
themselves the stuff of tragedy; people break
rules for them, make concessions to them, until
sometimes the heroes wind up destroying
themselves." Man was moving in on the grizzly,
and no powerful carnivore, least of all the
proudly independent grizzly, will go gently into
the dark night of extinction. That dark night
provides the climax of Night of the Grizzlies, a
superb story of nature, survival, outdoor lore
...and terrible tragedy-tragedy for which man
himself bore no little part of the responsibility.
Quality: Excellent, almost no errors.

Hi Cindy and all. I have a dear friend who is
probably going into hospital and it would be
special if someone had "the night of the
grizzly," or maybe it might be "night of the
grizzly," somewhere they could scan and put up.
The book was read by NLS in 1969 and they
remember it, and wish to read it again. She is
having heart surgery, so, it'd do her heart good
to have something to do while recovering. :)
Thank you to all!
Curtis Delzer.
