From Adirondack People & Places book. Bear hunting encompasses more than a century of tradition in the Adirondacks. Most hunters have a Bear Story to tell. About a hundred years ago , Charles Dudley Warner's popular narrative How I killed a Bear was required reading by the New York State Regents Board.
I doubt if you could find it in one public school library now.

your not kidding ed... we use to have a rifle club at school, when i was a kid... now they get suspended or in trouble for pointing their fingers and going bang..kinda interesting in looking back... our spanish teacher was in charge of the rifle club... he was a legal cuban exile... always warned us how important it was to protect our second amendment rights and how america was such a great country.. in part because of them, along with all our other rights and freedoms.. unlike castro's cuba.... jim

I suspect it would be deemed politically incorrect for a number of reasons, but here it is for those interested: In the Wilderness, by Charles Dudley Warner
