At first it is just a story of a fur trapper. The theme of Hugh glass mountain man is adventure. Hugh later sets out to kill the two men that left him. They got scared in Indian country and left Hugh. Two men would stay back with Hugh and the others would go get help. The group of men he went with split into two groups. He went on a trapping trip and was injured by a bear. I read Hugh Glass, Mountain Man by Robert M. the reason why i gave this book a 5 star was because its a biogrophy so it realy happened to him. when he was there he was attacked by Rees indeans and he got shot in the leg. he decided he needed to return and left the pawee so he did and went back to the missury fur company. once they got there they were captured by pawee indeans the killed jim as a sacrifice and were going to kill him but he gave them a rare gem for a gift and so the chief adopted him as his son and gave him a powerfull gun whith perfect aim (which he named old faithfull). they were going to kill them the next day but in the night they jumped ship and swam a mile to shore. the pirates killed the crew and captuered him and his partner Jim. He was also on board a ship when he and his crew were abducted by pirates. My foavorite part was when he killed a white bear, he was severly injured by the great beast and his partners thought he was dead and left him. I have not read any other sagas of Hugh Glass's life including Michael Punke's The Revenant as of yet, but I have seen the movie (2015). Very adventurous and exciting wondering How does he survive? How does he make the 200 miles in the mauled shape he is in? Does he get his revenge? This telling once you start you really want to continue reading. The novel is a True story to a point, fiction in maybe the storytelling of accuracy of the tell. Slowly as he healed and drew strength he managed miles daily. He ate berries and roots, at first, as he could only crawl, really he dragged himself as his leg was broken, at first just a quarter of a mile at a time. Hugh had a strong will and desire to survive. He struggled to survive and managed a plan to crawl and stumble his way through 200 miles of wilderness to a Fort where he hoped to find the men who left him without his rifle, knife and supplies. In the first days he mainly was in and out of consciousness, but not really aware. He managed perseverance that no other could possibly endure. True life Mountain Man Hugh Glass is a legend, fur trapper, frontiersman that was ripped to shreds by a grizzly bear and left for dead by a group led by a military man on an expedition.
