In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Ursa Maior ...the bear, which was verry large and a turrible looking animal, which we found verry hard to kill...This animal is the largest ofthe carnivorous kind I ever saw." - William Clark When I be my best self, I be all buffalo. Quiet as a mountain, proud, strong, without fear able to see the good in everything. But like most God's creatures when I can't find my own light or when the world try to blow it out there be a darker York. A York that mirrors more the grizzly then the wooly-headed thunder-bringer. Knowing how much Massa Clark fear the Great Bear, after seeing that his bullets only seem to make him mad; when I sinks deep into my worst self, with a little help from whiskey's bite I try to bring as much fear an destruction as anything we run upon in the wild. This grizzly knows no fear an is not afraid to die. He is only afraid that when he wakes up he'll just be a slave again. ...
