Abstract
Daniel Horowitz’s Bear With Me offers a richly textured and intellectually engaging cultural history of bears in American culture. Spanning over two centuries, the book traces how bears – both real and imagined – have come to occupy a central place in the American imagination, serving as icons of wilderness, comfort, danger, and identity. Bear With Me makes a valuable contribution to the cultural history of animals. It explores deeply seated cultural models built around the understanding, or at times miss-understanding, of an iconic animal providing much of value for the field of animal studies.
