Anyone ever read or heard about Hugh Glass?

He was a fur trapper and frontiersman in the 1800's and is most known for his amazing survival after being attacked by a grizzly bear, being left for dead then crawling 200 miles to civilization for help.

I just ordered a book that documents Glass's life and survival story. I will post a review / summary once I am finished the book.

thanks please post the review, but i havn't heard of him.

Wiki is your friend:

Heard of him, I have even seen Man in the Wilderness, which is kindasorta based, at least in part, on his story...

Yeah that happened about 30 miles or so north of where I live. I wish I new more about it, but wikipedia covered about all that I have heard.

read the book in the 60's..he crawled thru the wilderness--
let maggots eat the rotten flesh from the wounds..he wanted
to get to a fort and kill the guys who left him behind..
yes--they made a move based on it..
