All of the Ben Lilly books are good. He was a famous bear and cat hunter from North Louisiana.

Let me try this again. I googled Ben Lilly and Wow, what a fascinating character. Here is what Wikipedia has written about him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Lilly

If I remember correctly it was Ben Lilly that took Teddy Roosevelt to kill a bear. I think it happened up around Tensas if my memory serves me right. At one time I was a big time historic hunter buff and read up on him, Fred Bear, Earnest Hemingway and a couple injuns... It was some good stuff

Ben Lilly took Teddy Roosevelt hunting, but after a couple of weeks of treeing nothing left Teddy with other members of the hunting party. The dogs finally bayed a bear and one of the black men with the party roped it so Teddy could shoot it. Teddy didn't have the heart to shoot it under those circumstanses. The story was told when he got back to the city, and some stuffed bears were made during Teddy's next campaign. This is how the "Teddy Bear" came about.
