A Note From Cottonwood Corners

Although he was still alive after being attacked by the mother grizzly bear, the condition and future for Hugh Glass seemed to be hopeless. He was so far from civilization and there was no one in the group who had more than the most basic medical knowledge. His body was in a mutilated and fragile condition. For the majority of the eighty-one members of the Henry and Ashley fur trapping party, they had never seen a man in this condition before.
