Hugh Glass (c. 1780 – 1833) was an American fur trapper and frontiersman noted for his exploits in the American West during the first third of the 19th century. In 1823, he was nearly killed by a grizzly bear and left for dead by his companions. Despite his severe wounds, including a broken leg, he set out on a 200-mile journey to the nearest settlement, where he recuperated and confronted the men who had abandoned him. He was killed along with two of his companions ten years later in an Indian attack.
