Bear hunter Lou Jones and Devil Sam in Tennessee
Lou W. Jones spent two months in Tennessee, mostly Maryville, chasing bears with famed guide Devil Sam. The piece paints Maryville as a hard-drinking, moonshine town and recounts Sam’s rough-humored life, a bear kill tally, and a rambling lodging tale ending with Lou's insomnia and a bear fur bedframe anecdote. It also notes Nashville mining news and a Findlay strike settlement, plus Paris champagne phylloxera warnings.
