according to the legend , shadowhawk had wandered around for nearly thirty years , with everyone still believing he had robbed the bank.-before he had left so many years ago , he told his father that he would never rest until he had proven his innocence.-his end came , the tale continued , when he crossed paths with an angry , wounded bear.-his spirit was at last free and could return to the area where he had grown up so he could try to clear his name .
