from
Wikipedia
In the early 1890s Maxfield was within the range of a giant ( 400 pound ) wild black bear named " Old Ranger " who was eventually shot and killed by a local hunting party after a lifetime of raiding orchards, and having survived numerous other attempts to do him in.
According to a New York Sun obituary of Old Ranger, " the whole of Penobscot County knew the bear, and he defied the entire population ".
