Wilderness

The narrative intertwines the harrowing survival stories of John Colter and Hugh Glass, two iconic figures of the American frontier. In 1808, Colter's remarkable escape from the Blackfeet nation showcases his resilience as he traversed 150 miles. Meanwhile, in 1823, Glass, left for dead after a brutal bear attack, crawled over 80 miles seeking vengeance on his betrayer. Their journeys not only highlight personal triumphs but also contribute significantly to American history, with Colter's discovery of Yellowstone and Glass's legendary status.
