John C. "Grizzly" Adams (1812-1860) - Born in Massachusetts on October 12, 1812, Adams first worked as a shoemaker before becoming a hunter in New England's forests. When gold was discovered in California in 1858, Adams, along with thousands of others, made his way west. However, when he failed to find his fortune, he earned his living by trapping in the Sierra Nevada mountains. He became a professional hunter of grizzly bears to supply early California restaurants, and also caught and trained them to sell to zoos and circuses. The buckskin clad trapper became a well-known figure when he took his bears to New York City and later became involved in P.T. Barnum's Circus.
