Fur Trade Prototypes (8 AUG )

Updated 8 AUG 

Hugh Glass (c. 1783-1833) was an American frontiersman, fur trapper, trader, hunter and explorer. He is best known for his story of survival and forgiveness after being left for dead by companions when he was mauled by a grizzly bear.

There are no official records of his origins but it is believed he was born in Pennsylvania to Irish/Scots parents. His life story has been the basis for two movies. “Man In The Wilderness” in 1971, and the more recent “The Revenant” in 2015.
Both movies portray the survival struggle of Glass, who crawled and stumbled 200 miles to Fort Kiowa, South Dakota, after being abandoned without supplies or weapons by fellow explorers and fur traders during General Ashley’s Expedition of 1823.
