Alaskan Bear Hunt

A Young Man's Adventure

"Alaskan Bear Hunt" is the true story of an Alaskan bear hunt as told by my grandfather in 1917. Carl Laney was living in Kodiak, Alaska with his pretty, young wife when he determined to shoot a Kodiak brown bear. He left Kodiak with the grade school principal and a Russian guide for a small island where they would begin their hunt. My grandfather vividly recounts the beauty of the water, the mountains, and forest as well as the hardships they encountered on their Alaskan adventure. One wonders as you read the account how the hunters survived their adventure with clothing and equipment which would be considered inadequate by today's standards. But survived they did, and my grandfather loved to tell the story of how a bear rug came to be a prized adornment of his living room floor. "Alaskan Bear Hunt" provides readers the opportunity to share his adventure.

Who can endure this type of narration?

Poor narration made it difficult to even follow the story. This was a big disservice to the author, audience, and the material.
