This is the gravestone of Grizzly Adams. He absolutely was a real person. Born James Adams in Medway, Massachusetts in 1812, he went on to become a famous outsdoorsman and showman with P.T. Barnum. He died in 1860. In the 1970s a television show was based on his life.
Grizzly Adams is buried in Bay Path Cemetery in Charlton, Massachusetts.
I remember that show Grizzly Adams. I had a big bear as a pet as I recall. Thanks for sharing.
