- Synopsis
- Punke's novel opens in 1823, when 36-year-old Hugh Glass joins the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. on a venture into perilous, unexplored territory. A seasoned frontiersman, Glass is scouting ahead when he is attacked and savagely mauled by a grizzly bear. His wounds are grievous and his fellow trappers wait for his death. Three days later, he is still drawing breath. Facing hostile territory and the press of winter, the expedition's captain leaves two volunteers to stay behind and bury Glass when he dies. When Indians approach the camp, the volunteers abandon Glass, stealing his rifle, knife and flint and steel, taking the things that would have given him a chance on his own. Deserted, defeneseless and furious, Glass vows his survival. And his revenge.
