Article by Hancock M. Johnston.
The present geenration of Californians knows little of nothing of a phase of strenuous life practiced on this coast by the old vaqueros in the early days. It is a matter of common report that fifty years ago, when Southern California was one vast stock ranch, the roping and taking alive of the grizzly bear was not an unusual feat and was sometimes accomplished by a single man unaided. We have all heard of it in a vague way, but know nothing of the detail of the circumstances which surrounded such occurences. This lends an especial interest to an account of such a capture written by one of the actors in it -- Mr. Hancock M. Johnston -- which appeared in the New York Forest and Stream of January 12th. The scene of the capture of four grizzlies and the subsequent bull fight was the San Pascual Ranch, where the flourishing city of Pasadena now stands. The article is vividly written and to a Californian is most interesting.
