Legend of Hugh Glass
From the time Hugh Glass walked through the gates of Fort Kiowa having been left for dead hundreds of miles away, his story of survival has been legend. Even during his lifetime, the story was being told around the campfires by his fellow mountain men. It is safe to say the story has been retold in every generation since and continues to be retold today. As the story passed from person to person and generation to generation no doubt it was embellished and speculation added to the few known facts. Now, fictionalized accounts inspired by the real story have even infiltrated the national popular culture. These accounts expose much larger audiences to the story and spike more interest in the real story of Hugh Glass and the mountain man era.
