Quote: "With the invention of the repeating rifle... his kind fell by the thousands. Almost overnight the grizzly was forced to change his character and habits of living. The fearless one suddenly became the great timid beast, who slept by day and stalked by night, and eluded conflict except when forced to fight for his very life."

Quote: "One of the most amiable and well-behaved denizens of the forest, Bruin has ever been an outlaw and a fugitive with a price on his pelt... he has been supplied with a reputation much worse than he deserves as an excuse for his persecution... Every man's hand has been against him, but seldom has his paw been raised against man except in self-defense. A vegetarian by choice and usually by necessity... Poor, harried, timid Ursus, nosing among the fallen leaves for acorns and beechnuts, and ready to flee like a startled hare at the sound of a foot-fall, is represented in story and picture as raging through the forest..."
