The above answerer is correct. I recall the description from Lewis' (or Clark's) journal. They had to shoot it almost a dozen times to bring it down. Their rifles were muzzle loaders with small powder charges. I'll bet they learned to double load with powder when they saw a grizzly.

No, I said Beer. They loved their beer. The whole expedition stated as a simple beer run
