The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams background

The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams

A fugitive from justice finds refuge in the wilderness, forming a unique bond with a grizzly bear and using their skills to assist travelers and strangers who venture into the forest.

In the 1850s, James Adams, a farmer, is wrongly accused of a crime and flees to the mountains, where he befriends a grizzly bear cub and forms a special bond with the local wildlife. He settles in the wilderness with only a few human acquaintances, including Mad Jack and Nakoma, and dedicates himself to protecting the region's creatures from harm.
