Gr 6 Up-- A fictionalized account of a true story. Much older than the other men in the exploring and trapping party he joined in 1823, mountain man Hugh Glass was mauled by a grizzly bear and left by his companions to die. The now famous account of Glass' harrowing recovery and equally harrowing and heroic 200-mile crawl to civilization is so astonishing that it is still told, gripping the attention of hearers and readers. Glass lived adventurously before and after the grizzly clawed and chewed him but there are few verifiable facts about his life. Using what he could find in adult biographies and other sources, McClung has fleshed Glass' life into a vivid story. --George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield (c) Copyright 2010.

Written as fiction, thoroughly researched and documented, is the adventure-filled story of an early-nineteenth-century trapper and frontiersman who, horribly mauled by a grizzly bear and left for dead by his companions, not only survived but dragged himself nearly two hundred miles through the wilderness.

Kirkus评论
A rousing fictional account of a famous fur trapper's near-legendary exploits in the wild early West. After sailing with Jean Lafitte, being adopted by a Pawnee chief, and managing countless escapes from death, Hugh Glass signed on in 1823 with the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. En route from St. Louis to Yellowstone, he was attacked and mauled by a grizzly, Two companions, John Fitzgerald and 19-year-old Jim Bridger, stayed with him for five days as he clung stubbornly to life, but the two eventually fled, taking Glass's rifle and supplies, when they found signs of Indians in the vicinity. Though terribly wounded, Glass crawled and staggered 200 miles to Fort Kiowa, living on grubs, raw rattlesnake, etc. and swearing vengenace on the deserters. McClung writes in a slightly distant, documentary style that makes this tale of endurance all the more believable (most of it is based on actual events); Glass's eventual confrontations with Bridger and Fitzgerald also make for some powerfully dramatic scenes. In the end, he's convinced of their genuine remorse and lack of malice. The general facelessness of the Native Americans is the only jarring note in this saga from the author of The True Adventures of Grizzly Adams (1985). Foreword; afterword; annotated bibliography.

Gr. 6-8. McClung's fictionalization of the true adventures of Hugh Glass, who joined the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1823 when he was almost 50, unfolds with riveting drama. Early in the tale, Glass (who has already lived through shocking dangers) is severely mauled by an immense grizzly bear. Two young men, John Fitzgerald and Jim Bridger, are assigned to stay behind with Glass to bury him as soon as he dies. After several days and with the danger of savage Indians closing in, Fitzgerald insists that they leave Glass to die, taking his rifle and supplies. Thus begins a haunting story of determination against unbelievable odds, fueled by Glass' fury at being robbed and left to die alone. In addition to providing an absorbing portrayal of Glass fighting Indians, the elements, and the torments of his own soul, the story also shows how revenge and forgiveness can chart the course of events. Complex relationships, heart-stopping action, and grisly descriptions of Glass' physical injuries will grip readers. A powerful dust jacket with an open-mouthed bear behind an armed mountain man is a strong drawing card for a stark, realistic, and unforgettable picture of life in the West. Teachers looking for high-interest material, especially for boys, will find this historical novel a good choice. ~--Deborah Abbott
