FOREWORD

The story of Monarch is founded on material gathered from many sources
as well as from personal experience, and the Bear is of necessity a
composite. The great Grizzly Monarch, still pacing his prison floor at
the Golden Gate Park, is the central fact of the tale.
In telling it I have taken two liberties that I conceive to be proper
in a story of this sort.
First, I have selected for my hero an unusual individual.
