If Fred Bear had been born a hundred years earlier, he might have been one of the mountain men scouting the Rockies on hunting and trapping expeditions. He could have been one of Jim Bridger's or Kit Carson's men, or, more likely, he might have crossed the Cumberland Gap with Daniel Boone. If he'd been born in Quebec in the early days, he would have been a voyager roaming the Great Lakes, the Mississippi and the Northwest Territories.

He was born too late for all that, but not for pioneering in a field that he himself did much to establish. In moving to the peak of success in his vocation and avocation, this shy farm boy became part of the great American tradition of free enterprise and the self-made man.
