'Frederick Gerstaecker, the German hunter, tramped all over the State from 1839 to 1842.' -Shinn, Pioneers and Makers of Arkansas, 1908. Called 'The White Bear' by Indians, because of his reputation as a great hunter, Frederick Gerstaecker (1816-1872) hunted bears, panthers, and wolves in the sparcely populated wilderness of Arkansas during the years 1839 to 1842. In 1859, Gerstaecker published a narrative of his life as a backwoodsman in Arkansas titled 'Wild Sports in the Far West.' The book contains entertaining accounts of close scrapes with bears, panthers, and wolves as well as rough hard-drinking frontiersmen and pioneers. (Goodreads)'
