During the course of his life, Spikehorn was a showman, naturalist, politician, coal miner, tile manufacturer, furniture builder, inventor, realtor, hunter, bear trainer, lumberjack, and above all, individualist.

John E. ("Spikehorn") Meyer was born in 1870 in Winesburg, Ohio. As a child, Meyer moved with his family to central Michigan. Meyer became the owner-operator of a deer park and "bear den" in Clare County where he lived the rest of his life. Aside from his wildlife tourist attractions, Meyer also invented a number of machines and gadgets as aids in maintaining himself as a free and unencumbered man in the wilderness. He was a "great friend" of bears and dressed in homemade buckskins 24/7. This book explains why he was Michigan's most Legendary and colorful character!
