Publisher's Synopsis
Set in rural Idaho during the early 1900's, this true story follows young Loyd Rupe as he crosses the threshold from boy to young man through an important rite of passage - the hunting of his first bear. As Loyd and his trusty hounds will discover, this act takes courage, creativity, and knowledge of the natural world. This coming-of-age tale is a relic from another time, presented in book form by Loyd's own daughter, Eldene Wasem.
