Grizzly!, the first special in the National Geographic Society series, focused mostly on 51-year-old twin brothers, Frank and John Craighead, a pair of wildlife biologists who track, drug, tag, and record the habits of grizzlies in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Best shot: a bear wakes with a roar from his drug-induced slumber and charges head-on into the side of the Craigheads' car. The Craigheads, though, are the real stars; urban viewers can only admire the intelligence and understanding with which they impart to their children a respect and fascination for natural life...
...sheer size and exactitude of some of Adams' landscapes achieve an effect perilously close to Cinerama, as in "Winter Frost, Yosemite."

...directly linked to a U.S. cavalry expedition he led into the Black Hills of South Dakota two years before. Custer illegally invaded the Hills in the summer of 1874, the story goes, looking for gold. He discovered it and set off a gold rush that drove the hostile Teton Sioux out of their Dakota country and eventually forced them to make a last desperate stand on the banks of the Little Bighorn in Montana...
