About
What is the true story of the famous Rocky Mountain trapper Hugh Glass and his harrowing tale of survival after a grizzly bear attack, and who are the two trappers who left him to die after the mauling?
Author Edmund Flagg offers some surprising answers in his 1839 account of Hugh Glass titled, "Adventures of Hugh Glass at the Headwaters of the Missouri," a short 25-page account originally published in the Louisville Literary News Letter.
In gathering information for his account, Edmund Flagg had traveled to St. Louis, Missouri, then the hub for mountain men and trappers returning to cash in from their adventures in the upper reaches of the Missouri River headwaters. Flagg drew his account from a fellow trapper who had been with Hugh Glass in the Far West during the times in question.
In introducing his account, Flagg writes:
"The narrative of the almost incredible sufferings endured by the daring adventurer, who is the subject of this paper, may be relied upon as strictly true. The facts are furnished us by the rough notes of a very intelligent man, who himself an adventurer in the same expedition; and as he could have no object in an untrue recital, we can have no reason to doubt his assertions."
