The Ben Lilly Legend
copyright 1950, J. Frank Dobie
Good story about perhaps the best hounds-man to ever chase Bear and Lion.
I had read a little about Lilly here and there over the years, but was a little disappointed in this account.
Dobie gathered some of Lilly's diaries, and part of a book that Lilly himself had started, but most of the stories were generalizations, without much detail.
For someone that killed many animals with a knife only, I expected a little more action.
Still a decent read, but I feel it could have been much better.
