I just finished reading Jack O'Connor's "The Hunting Rifle", published in 1953. Towards the end of the book he devotes a chapter to 22 rimfire cartridges. In explaining that the lowly 22 can be quite dangerous, he says on page 304 "One of the largest grizzlies I have ever heard of was killed by an Indian woman with one shot from an old single-shot .22 Stevens rifle." He doesn't give any substantial evidence supporting or denying the killing of the grizzly, just states that he heard about it. Can anybody pre-date this reference with an earlier grizzly/.22 tale?
