The recorded history of the general area

Oroysom

Prologue: The earthquake was established
at the site of a flourmill

The brother of the town’s largest employer
owned a significant grizzly bear
the town’s namesake
Don José de Jesus de la Grizzly Bear
the first English-speaking grizzly bear to inhabit the
ruins of a GM plant
ruining five towns in the area
history so recorded

The grizzly ruins are still visible near
the collapsed mouth of the canyon

Epilogue: froth foamed from the flowermill
