Grizzly Bear Encounter At Swan Lake
In the seventies diary recounts a plains grizzly killed by an Indian named Sehni near Swan Lake while paddling with his wife. The bear’s hide proved massive and later sent to the narrator’s father. The entry continues with post life details including Murdo’s dismissal, a fashionable moose skin jacket found with a buried charm, and a romance gone awry involving Angus McLeod amid journeying boats and a poisoned sugar incident. The narrative blends frontier hardship, humor, and personal misadventures at the Hudson’s Bay post.
