Original language:

Horace Bell (1830 – 1918), was active in the American era of 19th century California, especially in the Los Angeles region. He was a California Ranger, filibuster, soldier, lawyer, journalist and newspaper publisher, and author of two Southern California history books. The first was an 1881 memoir, Reminiscences of a Ranger: Early Times in Southern California.The California Rangers were California's first statewide law enforcement agency, formed in 1853 to deal particularly with the outlaw gangs troubling the Gold Country during the early 1850s. The original posse disbanded following their success in bringing the violent Five Joaquins gang to justice.In this book Bell writes:"No country or section during the first decade following the conquest of California, has been more prolific of adventure than our own bright and beautiful land ; and to rescue from threatened oblivion the incidents herein related, and either occurring under the personal observation of the author, or related to him on the ground by the actors therein, and to give place on the page of history to the names of brave and worthy men who figured in the stirring events of the times referred to, as well as to portray pioneer life as it then existed, not only among the American pioneers, but also the California Spaniards, the author sends forth his book of Reminiscences, trusting that its many imperfections may be charitably scrutinized by a criticising public, and that the honesty of purpose with which it is written will be duly appreciated. "Interestingly, chapter 21 of this book is devoted to true California grizzly bear stories, as follows: CHAPTER XXI Bears and Bear Stories— Lassoing the Grizzly — Jim Bogg's Bear Fight —Col. Wm. Butts— "The Southern Californian"— Butts and Wheeler — Butts' Encounter With a Grizzly — Andy Sublette and the Bear — "Old Buck" — Andy's Last Fight— Victory and Death — Andy's Funeral — Old Buck Dies From Grief — Queer Freak of an Old Grizzly — Fred Stacer's Adventure— Bill Bradshaw and Nelse Williamson — A Bad Wound" Welcome Fortune City Customers Dotster Welcome Fortune City Customers.
