Description
"Tales (both fact and fable) told about a master hunter of the Rockies who in his prime was 'chief huntsman' to Theodore Roosevelt."
Description
Ben Lilly was the greatest bear hunter in history after Davy Crockett, by his own account and also by the record. Folklorist Dobie met Lilly some twenty years before writing this book, and was so struck by this extraordinary man that he began collecting everything he could find about him. Lilly was born in Alabama in 1856, followed the bear and the panther westward through Mississippi and Louisiana to Texas, leaving a trail of stories about his prowess as a hunter and his goodness as a man. He was at one time "chief huntsman" to Teddy Roosevelt, hunted in Texas and Mexico, and came to be known as the master sign reader of the Rockies. Here are all the stories Ben Lilly told and a great many more Dobie heard about him, put together in a fresh and fascinating contribution to American folklore.--Adapted from book jacket
