"The Bear Hunt
When Johnston asked permission to publish “My Childhood-Home I See Again,” Lincoln offered to have the third canto published along with it. The third section was included in his February 25, 1847 letter. Johnston did not feel that the final canto fit with the rest of the poem so he did not publish it. The third section is known as a separate piece titled “The Bear Hunt.” A transcript of entire poem can be found here
