Bear story of Bud Reed ends in single combat
In Glade Creek, Raleigh county, Bud Reed faced a large black bear with only a pocket knife. He waded into Glade Creek, wrestled the beast in icy water, and after a two minute battle the bear died and Reed emerged wounded but hailed as a hero by onlookers. The tale recalls a long tradition of frontier strength and courage in the region.
