Description: William Randolph Hearst Hired a Hunter to Capture the Last California Grizzly Bear. This bear, Monarch is named after Hearst's paper "Monarch of The Dailies" aka San Francisco Chronicle. Eventually there were many stories written about this bear, Federal Bonds in his name, The State Flag, and so on. It is a meditation on how something rare becomes something mythological, over time, passing from Extinct to Fantasy.
