Over the course of the past few centuries, Hugh Glass has become something of a fabled enigma. Still, what remains true is that Glass led an astonishing life that was characterized by numerous hardships and triumphs over otherwise certain death upon the frontier. "Although I had lost my rifle and all my plunder, I felt quite rich when I found my knife, flint and steel in my shot pouch,' Glass is reported to have once said. "These little fixins make a man feel right peart when he is three or four hundred miles from anybody or any place" (per Historynet).
A trapper by trade, Glass took to the landscape with several different hunting parties throughout the 1820s. He even got separated from his troop once again and, for the second time in his life, was exiled into the gauntlet of the wilderness alone, according to Britannica. Yet again, he survived the mishap and continued his life as a trapper, undaunted.
