Chivalry

[Rick]

Micas , in my opinion they were both idiots . Grizzlies are not sentient beings ; if you're smaller than them then you are potentially a meal ; it's just that simple in my view . I commend the man's female friend for trying to save him ; still to put oneself in the position of being a snack for a large bear shows an extreme lack of common sense .

One of my ancestors showed up for the battle of Bunker (Breed's) Hill ; he was a teenaged boy and manned the trenches with his older neighbors trying to repel the British troops threatening Boston . Young Eleazor French lost his arm to a cannonball during that battle ; he carried the severed limb back to his home in Dunstable after the fight because he was damned if he would leave anything for the redcoats to gloat over .
Was he a hero or a damnfool kid ?
I really don't know ; maybe he showed up to defend his country or maybe just for the thrill of the fight ; either way he showed up and became a part of history .
