Justin Marlow

Justin James Marlow (b. July 14, 1781) was an American pioneer and adventurer who explored the Rocky Mountains in present day Colorado. Marlow was a rugged outdoorsman who is known to have antagonized mother bears in the hopes that they would attack and he could henceforth kill them. He once stalked a buffalo for 12 consecutive days because he believed the animal contained the soul of his great uncle Rufus. On the 12th day, Marlow forced the animal into a large pit where he killed it by stabbing it several times with a small weapon resembling a modern day prison shank.
