Letters to the Editor
I have great respect for Mr. Hasselborg and feel a need to defend his historical writings since he cannot. Hasselborg lived in southeast Alaska and all the bear hunting stories that go with him happened in the southeast, with an exception of some hunting he did in south-central Alaska in Prince William Sound. Kodiak brown bears are not the bears he hunted and Kodiak is not in the Aleutian Islands. Basically the article has flaws in its geography. The bears [Hasselborg hunted] were Admiralty Island brown bears, not Kodiak; and Kodiak Island is not in the Aleutian Islands. The words “Kodiak” and “Aleutian Islands” should be omitted from the article and “Admiralty Island brown bears” should replace “Kodiak brown bears.”
— J.U.Thank you for your message. While the point of the article is sound, it had some facts wrong. We regret the error.
