Bear Mountain by ronnie Coffey

I sent this to my Dad since he grew up in the area and his Dad was a Bear Mountain cop. We have heard stories about Bear Mountain all our lives. Dad loved the book and read it in a few hours. Mom loved the book. They asked me to send copies to my brothers, who loved the book. Dad has his own stories and memories to add to the book and will write them in the borders for me. If you have any connection to Bear Mountain or just interested in the area, this book is for you.
