And Finally...

Outro "140 Times" from Bob Baldwin of RockOn.

Amazon: Monarch: The Big Bear of Tallac (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)

Ernest Thompson Seton's book, "Monarch, the Big Bear of Tallac."  Another grizzly story I think you'll enjoy.  Published in 1919, it tells the story of a Grizzly who ended up in a cage in Golden Gate Park, and the people who knew him.  It's not quite as much a "Biography" as my previous Seton choice, but I really do like this book even so.  And I felt like I had to return to Seton for this one, especially with NaPodPoMo.

Some of the humor would not be approved of these days, I suppose.  But given that, the funny parts are still funny.

Dedication, Forward, and Part 1 -- "The Two Springs."  We meet two very young grizzlies, their Mother ... and a hunter.

Theme: Pachelbel's "Canon in D" performed by Owen Poteat, with additional music provided by Kevin MacLeod.

True story.  In 1906, young poet Vachel Lindsay wanders through a dozen states, with no money and no baggage, staying with random strangers, reciting poetry and teaching "The Gospel of Beauty."  So, what do you suppose that was like?  Wonder why this book was popular in the 1960s & '70s?

Part 2.13, "A Mendicant Pilgrimage in the East." 

Includes "The Old Gentleman with the Lantern," part 8, and "That Men Might See Again the Angel Throng."

And that's the end of the book.  Now I'll be sad for a while, I think.  And then find another book.  What adventure awaits?  "God help us to be brave."
