Bear hunting customs and a daring rescue at skall in 1831
A peasant ring hunts bears then narrows the circle to trap the animal under a provincial marshal led hunt. An 1831 skall near Hernesand shows bear hunting’s peril as a Norrlander saves a wounded man with a bold shot to the bear’s brain, while the bear proves itself a deadly foe despite multiple wounds. The piece ends noting slow adoption of new ideas as gas and electric lights reach nearby Boston yet some towns still extinguish gas at midnight regardless of moonlight.
