This book contains three grizzly bear tales. These feared animals caused ruin and destruction throughout the southwest. 1) The Texas Silvertip Grizzly: Everyone said this was just another grizzly bear, but the dogs knew differently. The bear made the hair on their backbones stand on end. It was a rare species, and the only grizzly of its kind ever recorded to have been killed in Texas. 2) Old Mose - A Colorado Legend: Old Mose, a powerful grizzly, was the scourge of central Colorado for over thirty-five years. His razor-sharp claws were four inches long and his teeth could crush bone. The Indians regarded Old Mose as a supernatural animal. It took a hundred bullets to bring him down. 3) Scourge of Old Reelfoot: Old Reelfoot, a huge, powerful grizzly was a legend that ruled over his domain for more than two decades. His powerful jaw could snap a grown bull’s backbone with one crushing bite. It took ten large caliber bullets to bring him down, three of them in his head.
