"The Song of Hugh Glass" is an epic poem describing the astonishing true-life events that took place in the life of the fur trapper "Hugh Glass". This incredible story has been turned into a major new motion-picture entitled 'The Revenant'.

The story begins in 1823, following fur trappers in the frozen lands around the Missouri river. Badly mauled by a bear whilst out trapping, Hugh Glass is left in a coma, and when his trapping party move out of the area, two men volunteer to watch over him while nature takes its course - he will either recover or die. However, alone in the wilderness while Glass clings to life these men lose heart, and abandon him, convinced he will die anyway.

Yet they had not banked on his strength. Glass awakes, horribly injured but still alive, and proceeds to crawl 200 miles on a broken leg to seek his vengeance on the men who betrayed his care.

Originally written and published in 1915 as part of the 'Cycle of the West', this wonderfully readable work encapsulates an astonishing moment in American history.
