Hugh Glass was an American frontiersman, fur trapper, trader, hunter, and explorer.
During an expedition in 1822, Glass surprised a mother grizzly bear with her two cubs. The grizzly charged him and did what bears do – brutally mauling Hugh. Nonetheless, with the help of his fellow hunters, Glass managed to kill the bear, but was left critically wounded.
Over the next 48 hours, the men carried Glass, but decided his odds of survival were slim. Two men were chosen to stay with him until he died, to give him a proper burial – while the rest moved on. The two men didn’t hang around long, though. They grabbed Glass’s knife and gun and left him to die – alone. Incredibly, Glass regained consciousness and found himself alone, with nothing – 200 miles from civilization. Hugh proceeded to set his broken leg and tend to his festering wounds, as best he could. And, over the next 6 weeks, surviving on berries and roots, Hugh Glass crawled his way towards the Cheyenne River and fashioned a crude raft upon which he managed to float to Fort Kiowa!
