Notes:
JBP: I placed this event in Big Bottom, though more accurately it is the entire area in and around the Big Bottom (since there would be fewer corncribs actually in the Bottom).
Summary:
The bear had attained legendary status for its elusiveness in escaping from traps and hunters and for the “corridor of wreckage and destruction” it had wrought in and around the Big Bottom even before the boy’s birth (281).
