Mississippi Bear Hunter Holt Collier: Guiding Teddy Roosevelt and a Lifetime of Adventure (No Series (Generic)) (The History Press) - Softcover
Synopsis
Author Mark Neaves guides readers on an incredible tale through the life of one of America's greatest adventurers.
Born into slavery in the Mississippi Delta in 1847, Holt Collier was taught to hunt at an early age, killing his first bear at age 10, the first of 3,000 bears he killed during his lifetime, more than Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone combined. The number sounds impossible, until considered in the context of a life that reads like the stuff of fiction. When war erupted in the South, he remained loyal to the Confederacy, a teenager off to war. By the turn of the century, he'd become such a legendary hunter he was tapped to lead Teddy Roosevelt on a hunt that gave birth to the "Teddy Bear." As a former slave, Confederate soldier, and professional hunting guide, Holt goes down as an American legend.
