Curious Colonial tale and bear attack legends
A fragmented 18th 19th century column blends a humorous tale about Governor Joseph Dudley testing a Native American with a brutal bear encounter. It recounts a kidnapping bear story at Fort Pitt and a dramatic rescue by Baptiste Le Blanc. The piece also includes brief astronomy reflections and a rustic joke exchange between boys by a brook.
