Paperback. Condizione: New. This is the story of James Capen Adams, a mountain man born in 1807 who brought grizzlies to the city of San Francisco, and then New York, for exhibition. But Adams was not simply a showman; he had a deeper connection with the animals. While living in the mountains with the grizzlies, he tamed and trained them.

Printed by Roger Levenson of the Tamalpais Press, Berkeley, California. The story of the first ship built in California. "In 1719, due to the difficulties in obtaining supplies from the mainland, Father Ugarte decided to build a vessel on the Baja peninsula. With the help of an English carpenter named William Strafford and the collaboration of the Cochimí indigenous people, they used wood from the güéribo trees (Populus brandegeei) that grew in the mountains near Mulegé. The sloop, named El Triunfo de la Cruz (The Triumph of the Cross), was launched on November 14, 1719, and became an essential means of communication and transporting supplies between the missions on the peninsula and the mainland."
