Mountain Man visits 4th Grade
Sierra Bonita 4th graders were entertained last week by mountain man, Scott “Grizzly” Sorensen. Dressed in buckskin clothing, Scott demonstrated the use of various tools, traps and weapons used by the mountain men and Native Americans of the 1800s. Mr. Sorensen told the students stories of legendary mountain men such as Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger, Kit Carson. The students were introduced to the early methods of trapping, tanning, muzzle loading, and the telling of tall tales.
