Prominent California historian William B Secrest, Sr. (California Desperadoes, When the Great Spirit Died) tells the fascinating story of the most ferocious animal in the West and how it met it's demise at the hand of man. Grizzlies were slaughtered out of fear, used for meat, and even forced to fight with bulls for the sheer sport of it. California's Day of the Grizzly includes the story of the life of greatest bear man of them all -- Grizzly Adams! As with all of Secrest's books this one is lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs and engravings.
Following stints as a Marine rifleman in the Korean War and an art director for an advertising firm, William B. Secrest started researching and writing Western history in the early 1960s. Early in his history career, Secrest realized how his home state has consistently been neglected in the Western genre and concentrated almost exclusively on early California subjects. He has produced hundreds of articles for such publications as Westways, Montana, True West, and The American West, while publishing seven monographs on early California themes.
