Recollections of Soda Springs Bear Tales and Whitneys
A fragmented reminiscence recalls early Soda Springs history with the Whitney brothers robberies in Wyoming and Montana, local bear hunts led by Jim Call, the Bear Trap in Eight Mile Canyon, and encounters with a giant bear leaving 18 inch tracks near Bear River. The piece weaves memories of Caribou Mountain, Caribou Jack, and perilous frontier hunting.
