Hugh Glass Part 2
Howdy and welcome back to Wild West Deep Dives. This is our 2nd episode into the life of Hugh Glass. If you haven’t listen to the first episode, please go do so!
Last week, we talked about his childhood, his time as a pirate, him almost getting sacrificed by the Wolf Pawnee, but plot twist, was adopted by the Chief and him joining the famous, Rocky Mountain Fur Company.
This week, we are going to talk about his first years as a fur trapper and his involvement in the Arikara War. Disclaimer, there are several different accounts of the battles that took place, I tried to piece it together the best I could but no one is 100% certain what happened in each situation.
Well, let’s get into shall we!
