Committed to affordable, DRM-free books for education, Ambleside Classics brings you another story of high adventure. This time among the American pioneers.“Away back in the twenties, when Indiana was a baby state and great forests of tall trees and tangled underbrush darkened what are now her bright plains, there stood upon the east bank of Big Blue River a cosy log cabin of two rooms . . . “The boy who lived in this cabin had many adventures. These exciting chapters tell how he got a gun, how he was lost in the forest, how he met the one-eared bear, went on a wolf-hunt, tracked the "fire bear," and almost was caught by a bear on his way to his "castle on the Brandywine." A book for any boy or girl who loves the woods, who wants to know more about pioneers, and who likes bear stories.

The Bears of Blue River by Charles Major; Illustrations by A. B. Frost and Others. Charles Major (1856–1913) was an American lawyer and novelist. Writing remained an interest of Major, and in 1898, he published his first novel, When Knighthood Was in Flower under the pseudonym Edwin Caskoden. The Bears of Blue River describes the adventures of a young boy growing up 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 Blue River. Although only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is quite familiar with the dangers and rigors of frontier life. As the story unfolds, the boy becomes lost in the forest, encounters the fierce one-eared bear, and is nearly caught by a bear as he dozes next to what he thinks is a bearskin. This is a book for children or adults who love nature and tales of early pioneer life.
