title: Taken by Bear in Yellowstone: More Than a Century of Harrowing Encounters between Grizzlies and Humans
author:  Kathleen Snow 
description: <span><span>&quot;Bear attacks are multifaceted, fascinating and often chilling events. Snow gives carefully researched and detailed first person accounts of Yellowstone&rsquo;s National Park&rsquo;s bear attacks. Her accounts and images inform and let the reader draw their own conclusions. Ms. Snow gives accurate advice regarding how to avoid a bear attack. If you want the details of Yellowstone&rsquo;s bear attacks told in vivid detail Snow&rsquo;s book is the place to go.&rdquo; </span><span style="font-weight:bold;">&ndash;Stephen Herrero, author of </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Bear Attacks</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> and leading authority on bear ecology, behavior, and attacks</span><span><br /><br />&ldquo;Kathleen Snow&rsquo;s book reads like a series of crime scene reports, only they are not crimes. She uses careful and vivid detail to describe, incident by incident, 142 years of harrowing encounters between grizzly bears and humans in Yellowstone National Park, with a recap of earlier incidents dating back to 1870. These stories, usually told in the words of the people involved, are a non-judgmental but stark reminder of why we need to respect an animal that rightfully symbolizes the wildness in wilderness.&rdquo; </span><span style="font-weight:bold;">&ndash;David Knibb, author of </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Grizzly Wars: The Public Fight over the Great Bear</span><span><br /><br />&ldquo;Kathleen Snow has done an outstanding job in putting together the details of many Yellowstone bear-human confrontations from numerous sources. She weaves the stories in both a comprehensive and compelling narrative. I have already referenced it during my lectures on bear attacks even while it has been in manuscript form. It is a must-have reference book for anyone interested in human-bear encounters.&rdquo; </span><span style="font-weight:bold;">&ndash;Steven P. French, author of &ldquo;Bear Attacks&rdquo; in </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Wilderness Medicine</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> and cofounder of the Yellowstone Grizzly Foundation</span><span><br /><br />&ldquo;Kathleen Snow has done an excellent job of chronicling the bear/human conflicts in Yellowstone with this book. She paints a picture of each event with her own prose and includes all the official transcripts detailing the events. This contrast between a writer&rsquo;s view of an incident and the stark forensic details of agency reports allows the reader to imagine each scene from different perspectives. It helps to soften the forensic evidence but also gives a glimpse of the stark reality that rangers and tourists have actually faced every time there is an incident. The bad news is that such incidents will probably always happen as long as we value wild bears and wilderness. The good news is that they rarely do happen, and bears in general go out of their way to avoid them.&rdquo; </span><span style="font-weight:bold;">&ndash;Frank Lance Craighead, author of </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Bears of the World</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> and executive director of the Craighead Institute</span><span><br /><br />&ldquo;Valuable for its collection of facts.&rdquo; </span><span style="font-weight:bold;">&ndash;Lee H. Whittlesey, author of </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Death in Yellowstone</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"> and Yellowstone Park historian</span><span><br /><br />&ldquo;Kathleen Snow&rsquo;s exhaustive investigation into bear attacks brings home the message that Yellowstone is a wild, predator-rich ecosystem. While the details of these incidents remind us that our safety in bear country is not guaranteed, Snow provides the latest information on precautions to take to avoid a bear attack.&rdquo; </span><span style="font-weight:bold;">&ndash;Orville Bach, Yellowstone seasonal ranger</span></span>
