Do you know the story of the real Winnie?
Images photographed from the book Finding Winnie – The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear by Lindsay Mattick, the great-granddaughter of Captain Harry Colebourn*
1914 – Lt. Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian from Winnipeg, Canada, leaves home to fight in World War I. His role is to care for the many horses that were used by soldiers during the War. While on the train journey, Harry comes upon a trapper who has a baby black bear cub that he is hoping to sell. Harry’s diary notes log the day (August 24th) on which he purchased the bear at the train station for $20 from the trapper. Harry names the cub Winnie, after Winnipeg.
