"....a great read and should be added to the library of those who have interest in American History." -- On The Trail Magazine

A white man, whose story was so powerful it became a tradition among the Indians of the American Plains...

Excerpt

By the time Hugh Glass reached Fort Tilton it was well into November. A foot of snow lay across the countryside. Fort Tilton was a small fort that belonged to the Columbia Fur Company. It had been built by William P. Tilton and boasted a garrison of only five men. As it sat near the site of another Mandan village, the Mandans who escorted Hugh dropped him off, then immediately went to visit their cousins. Hugh went to see Tilton, where he learned right away that any hopes of finding a boat to continue his journey were in vain.

“Mr. Glass,” Tilton told Hugh, “I’d like to help you but I can’t. I’ve got five men here, besides myself. I can’t spare any of them. We’re under danger of attack here night and day by the Arikaras. I need every man I have to keep them away. Even if I could spare anyone, I doubt they would go. We’re watched constantly. I had one man who left the fort for only a few minutes. From out of nowhere, that devil Stanapat rode up and killed him, practically on our doorstep. If you hadn’t had the Mandans escorting you, don’t think for a moment that you would have made it in here. Those damn Arikaras would have gotten you before you even came within sight of the fort.”

PRAISE FOR "HUGH GLASS" by Bruce Bradley--

Although I've worked at many jobs, I am predominantly a winemaker and storyteller. I grew up bouncing between the wilds of Alaska and the Sierra Nevada, and the vineyards of Napa Valley. I've seen temperatures of minus 80 degrees while living in a half-finished house and have produced wines that scored in the mid-nineties, but my true love has always been writing. I also have a love of history, but I don't believe it should be told dryly. As a writer I believe that if you bore your reader, you didn't do your job.

Of course, the same could also be said of wine-making...

I enjoyed how quickly the book moved from one era of Glass’ life to the next. Not a complete biography but tells a great tale!

Very hard book to rate

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 10, 2013

Okay, how do i rate this book? I purchased it because the TRUE story of Hugh Glass is SO amazing I want to learn all I can about it. The book was purchesed with the belief it was non fiction, even the back cover of the book says "Hugh Glass is the incredible true story of one man...". Unfortunately there is a LOT of fiction here. The author, to his credit, states he had no choice but to basically fill in the blanks to make the story flow, but my opinion is that too much was made up. And the made up stuff includes the usual politically correct stuff. You know, native Americans were one with nature, they wasted nothing, they were noble, etc. etc.
Hugh Glass lands in Texas and of course a pretty woman involves herself with him. Hugh Glass lands in the Pawnee camp, the pawnees execute his companion as a sacrifice to the planet Venus and next month Hugh is next! Of course a pretty maiden falls in love with him. While awaiting execution he ADMIRES the pawnees (!!). He gets out of the jam, eventually leaves the Pawnees, winds up in a fur brigade. After his grizzly mauling and abandonment he is travelling alone, the sioux capture him and who is in camp but his former indian lover who was now recatured by the Sioux! Come on....just too much. Now, I have to say as a fiction book I would give it 3 stars or maybe even 4. If you are after a good read go for it. The author does have a nice writing style and his story DOES flow. Sitting around a campfire on a mountain backpack I would like to have the author sitting with me telling stories late into the night. But if you are after more meat and potatoes about Hugh Glass the book adds little if anything. So i took an average and came up with the 2 stars. In any case I strongly request that you read Myers book on Glass first...(Pirate Pawnee Mountain Man) so you have a baseline on the Glass story. Myers book, written decades ago, is still the best source out there. I had hoped B. Bradley's book would add any info learned in the last 30 or 40 years, unfortunately it didn't but perhaps nothing more has been learned?. The Hugh Glass story should be required teaching in our schools. I mean, we read about Odysseus in Homers book, a story about a 20 year journey home. We have our own Odyseus, he lived 175 years ago and we can retrace a lot of what he did. His name is Hugh Glass. He is our own.

I can't remember when the last time I enjoyed history so much.

Being from South Dakota, the story of Hugh Glass being attacked by a grizzly bear and crawling half-away across the state was taught in sixth grade. Well, guess what? It didn't happen like that at all. Was he mauled by a bear and left to die? Yes. But there was so much more to Hugh Glass. He was so much more than a hunter and trapper.

Bruce Bradley tells the story of Hugh Glass in such a way that it kept me turning pages. I did not want to put this book down. It was exciting and had me cheering then saying, "Oh no!" Hugh Glass gave his guardian angel a workout to be sure.

I imagine this book is geared toward guys but hey, I'm a woman and I loved it. I love history and I've always loved the story of Hugh Glass. I read "Lord Grizzly" when I was in junior high or high school and thought it was great. Then I read "Hugh Glass" and got a new spin on my education.

I know the author did his homework and to tell this story without sounding like a know-it-all and making it a true adventure was masterfully done.

This is an easy, easy five stars.

Hard to put down no matter how late it is. Vardis Fisher's Mountain Man intriguingly mentions Glass so glad to find this book. Incredible life. Very informative a out Indian culture and society.

I first read about Hugh Glass when a very young boy reading Old West Magazines & was enthralled. Incredible stories like this are numerous in the American history! Much of this history has been contorted by Liberals & our youth brainwashed by making them feel embarrassed of their roots! This is an awesome story of survival!

I have read many western genre books but they can’t compare to this one! Incomparable! Was definitely a page turner which I could not put down. A great example of the grit and hardiness of the men who opened up our great nation; including our Native Americans. To say truth is stranger than fiction is an understatement. A great read for guys and gals that appreciate a well written, historical, insightful story. If it hasn’t already been done, should be made into a movie!

The Revenant - the untold story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 16, 2019

If you enjoyed the film you will be fascinated by this book, as there is a whole prequel of a movie before the famous 'bear incident'.There are over 200 pages of adventures and near death experiences before the oscar winning film story commences. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was for the style of writing. It's written like a work of fiction rather than a biography and we have to give the author poetic licence and the benefit of the doubt for the dialogue which is obviously 'imagined' as there are no factual written records of any conversations! Only one letter by Hugh Glass survives and is reproduced in the story.

A fascinating story, told with respect for the man and his legend. An overwhelming interest in the native Americans, their culture and way of life, adds great depth to the story of Hugh Glass.
