Wilderness

The narrative intertwines the harrowing survival stories of John Colter and Hugh Glass, two iconic figures of early 19th-century America. Colter's incredible 150-mile escape from the Blackfeet nation showcases his resilience and adventurous spirit, while Glass's near-fatal encounter with a grizzly bear and subsequent 80-mile crawl for revenge highlights his determination and grit. Their journeys not only reflect personal triumphs but also contribute to the rich tapestry of American frontier history, with Colter's discovery of Yellowstone and Glass's legendary status at the forefront.
