P.P.S. President Theodore Roosevelt would be proud (tho Sarah's dad shot that particular bear). Dateline Chicago, Dec. 23, 1884 New York Times:
Mr. Roosevelt was very proud of a twelve-hundred-pound grizzly, whose skin will follow him in a few weeks to New-York. He is very nearsighted, and the bear approached within nine feet of him before he saw it. The animal had seen the Assemblyman and was doubtless preparing to embrace him in brotherly fashion when a well-directed rifle ball struck him in the forehead and stretched his vigorous frame at full length on the around.And how about those Bulls!
