The Bears of Blue River describes the adventures of a young boy growing up in early nineteenth-century rural Indiana.
As the story unfolds, the boy becomes lost in the forest, encounters the fierce one-eared bear, and is nearly caught by a bear as he.
Although only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is quite familiar with the dangers and rigors of frontier life.
Little Balser lives with his parents, a younger brother, and a baby sister in a cozy log cabin on the bank of the Big Blue River.
