1870s ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL RETELLING ONE INTREPID HUNTER'S 'BATTLES WITH BEARS'

On offer is a very interesting, original c1870 manuscript account of some bear hunting trips handwritten By J. D. Barnes. Titled "Battles with Bears" there are 12 9" x 14" folio sheets with narrative and it seems that each trip involves a particular bear. The accounts are rather detailed and on one occasion it appears to be with his Lordship - Lord Woodhause[?] and his party, with mentions of muzzle loader no. 10, walking with snowshoes, shooting details, etc. [It should be noted that we list separately by the same author a handwritten travel diary describing Mr. Barnes trip from Russia to Italy in 1875 - 1876.ID #0001958]; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF, BEAR HUNTING, J.
