Hugh Glass

Hugh Glass was a 19th-century American frontiersman and fur trapper famous for surviving a brutal grizzly bear attack in 1823. After being severely injured, he was left behind by his companions who believed he would die. Demonstrating incredible resilience, Glass endured a harrowing journey of over 200 miles to find help. His story of survival and determination became legendary and inspired the 2015 film "The Revenant." Glass's experience highlights human endurance in the face of extreme adversity and the challenges of life on the American frontier during that period.
