Book excerpt: Man versus bear, bull versus bear, dogs versus bear... in nineteenth century California it seemed all the elements of Gold Rush California were aligned against the native grizzly bears. For nearly 100 years they entertained, fed, and helped sustain the pioneers, but in the end the bears were too dangerous to ranchers and families and they were shot and poisoned into extinction.
