Quite an Adventure Story!

My husband and I enjoyed the story of Hugh Glass. We purchased the book as a result of seeing a program about him on the History Channel. Lots of those same things were in the book plus lots more. I feel the author took a considerable amount of artistic privilege with some of the items in the book but it was easy to detect the real facts and it all turned out to show that Hugh Glass was an amazingly adventurous, rugged, determined and versatile man. The author lets the reader know that he has taken some artistic license in the writing of the book . My husband and I liked the fact that Hugh Glass was portrayed as a man with a conscience. With all that in mind, I would highly recommend this book.

Hugh Glass

Enjoyable read. I have heard so much about Hugh Glass and knew of his name and some of his history, but not the full account. The man was a true man, with all of the colorful past that most Mountain Men had. I have a deep love of the mountains and part of this comes from reading books, such as this, about the mountains, men, animals and the forces of nature which is wild and will never be tamed.
