In the Wilderness

The encounter was unpremeditated on both sides. I was not hunting for a bear, and I have no reason to suppose that a bear was looking for me. The fact is, that we were both out blackberrying, and met by chance, the usual way. There is among the Adirondack visitors always a great deal of conversation about bears,--a general expression of the wish to see one in the woods, and much speculation as to how a person would act.Warner, Charles Dudley is the author of 'In the Wilderness', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419126178 and ISBN 1419126172.
