THE LIFE AND TIMES OF
GRIZZLY ADAMS (1974)
This movie was one of my mother's favorite movies of all time. It is one of mine as well. I remember my mother taking me to the theater in 1974 to see this movie for the first time. It was shown in only a limited number of theaters back then and later became a family classic. I was only 6 years old at the time when I first saw this movie with my mother in Arizona, but I remember it as if it were yesterday. TURN UP THE VOLUME, hit the PLAY BUTTON and enjoy the movie.

GRIZZLY ADAMS | Based On A True Story . . .
Many people don't know this . . . but the character, GRIZZLY ADAMS (played by "Dan Haggerty" in the movie and in the TV series), was actually based upon a "real" person. The "true story" of GRIZZLY ADAMS, whose real name was John Capen Adams (October 22, 1812 – October 25, 1860), is a mix of facts and legend. While he did become a renowned mountain man known for his bear training in California, his life involved more than just living in the wilderness with grizzlies. He was also a shoemaker, a hunter, a traveling showman, and even worked with the P.T. Barnum Circus training LIONS in his youth. His TRUE story is below.

Grizzly Adams was a member of the Adams family of New England that included many important men and women who contributed to the founding and early history of the United States. Grizzly Adams was born John Boyden Adams to Eleazar Adams and Sybil Capen on October 22, 1812. His parents were of English ancestry. Born and raised in Medway, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, he received little to no education.
His great-great-great-great-grandfather, Henry Adams (1583–1646), emigrated with his family from England to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1632, and thus established the famous Adams family in America. Henry's descendants include the patriot Samuel Adams and two presidents, John Adams and President Adams' son, John Quincy Adams. Grizzly was born in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, and was surrounded by relatives and cousins. During Grizzly Adams' childhood, President John Adams lived within a short buggy ride of him in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Adams began as an apprentice in the footwear manufacturing industry at age fourteen. At age twenty-one, he left that occupation, seeking to satisfy his true love – the outdoors and nature. He signed on with a company of showmen as a zoological collector. John hunted and captured live wild animals in the wildest parts of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire, where he honed his woodsman, survival, and marksmanship skills.
