The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek

Sid Marty

"In the summer of 1980, the citizens of Banff, Alberta, were shocked when a man staggered out of the bush, terribly injured in a bear attack. Thus began a story that would make headlines worldwide. Despite the massive hunt that followed, the Whiskey Creek mauler evaded park wardens and struck again and again. Bestselling author Sid Marty describes these events, including his own involvement, creating an evocative and gripping story that speaks to our increasingly complex and combative relationship with the wilderness and its inhabitants"--P. [4] of coever.
