Summary: This book puts you right in the scene
Comment: I have read many grizzly books and literature and this one stands alone. It is extremely realistic and the author is incredibly successful in putting the reader right there in Glacier Park with the bears. In a nutshell, this is a terrifying book. When I'm in grizzly country, I sometimes feel foolish with the precautions that I take when other (less-knowledgeable) tourists mindlessly cruise through the wilderness unharmed. This book puts those situations in perspective. That night in 1967, nobody thought the grizzlies were harmful because nobody had been killed in 57 years. The bears proved those tourists all wrong - they are very unpredictable. Buy this book.

Summary: A incredibly written story!!!
Comment: I hear about this book in a ski magazine talking about surviving in the backcountry of Glacier National Park. The magazine article had a few exceperts of this book and in only a few exceperts of this article I had to purchase this book.
After I read this book I was utterly engrossed in Jack Olsen's writting style of what happened in that horrible summer of 1967 in Glacier National Park. It was fascinating to hear about the events that lead of the events that lead up to the writing of this book.
It was deftly written account of what happened that summer with more suspense than most horror movies. I would recommened anyone who is a outdoors person to read this story, or anyone interested in nature. The book doesn't make the bear the enemy, which is difficult in light of what happened to 2 unfortunate campers.
I highly recommend this book, but not while you camping in grizzlie country, it may make you a little paranoid.

Summary: Read this book on a backpacking trip at Glacier
Comment: In 1972 I had just arrived at Glacier, having driven across the country from Ohio, reading paperback books when it wasn't my turn to drive. I was reading this book the evening we arrived at Glacier (poor planning), and continued reading while my boyfriend set up the tent at a campground. The book was so engrossing, I read through dinner, and continued to read after he turned in. I finished at about 1:00 am, but was too frightened to walk the 20 feet from the car to the tent, so I spent the night, freezing the whole time, in the car. The next day we set out for the trailhead, and I've never, ever been so frightened on a backpacking trip. Yes, I remember the book vividly after more than 30 years!
