The town’s few remaining farmers watched the stunted grass, hoping against all evidence that it would develop into something worth cutting. #2 The town of Grafton is made up of many small historical villages that were separated from each other by the encroaching forest. The bears began to eat the cats in Soule’s village, and soon people were wondering if eating cats was a gateway drug to eating humans. #3 I was fascinated by the idea that bears might be eating cats in Grafton. There was no video evidence, but something was emerging from the underbrush to snatch up felines when their backs were turned. #4 The first encounter between the New England colonists and the British monarchy happened in 1776, when a young man named Eleazar Wilcox was attacked by a bear. The colonists were constantly fighting with the British monarchy over their rights, and this incident proved just how dangerous bears were.
