Publisher Comments:

The Bears of Blue River describes the adventures of a young boy growingup in early nineteenth-century rural Indiana. Little Balser lives with his parents, a younger brother, and a baby sister in a cozy log cabin on the bank of the Big BlueRiver. Although only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is quite familiar with thedangers and rigors of frontier life. As the story unfolds, the boy becomes lost inthe forest, encounters the fierce one-eared bear, and is nearly caught by a bear ashe dozes next to what he thinks is a bearskin. This is a book for children or adultswho love nature and tales of early pioneer life.
