American Trapper: The Life and Death of American Frontiersman Hugh Glass

In 1823 Hugh Glass did the unthinkable: he wrestled a grizzly bear...and won. But that is only the beginning of the remarkable tale--Glass badly mauled with a broken leg was 200 miles from help. Determined he set his own leg and made the long journey first by crawling then by floating down a river. Following the freak encounter with the bear Glass became a legend. Hes considered one of the greatest American hunters and knew the frontier like few people before or after him. This book tells the incredible stories that made up his life.
