Left for Dead / The Hugh Glass Story / A Story Behind Blue Mounds State Park

In 1823, frontiersman Hugh Glass survived the unimaginable: mauled by a grizzly bear, abandoned in the wilderness without weapons or food, and left for dead. Against all odds, he crawled over 200 miles across the untamed frontier to seek retribution. Join Allen on "The Route to Everywhere" as he dives into the true historical events behind the legendary survival story that inspired the move "The Revenant". How much of the legend is fact, and how much is frontier myth? Let's explore the trail, the brutal conditions, and the sheer will to survive.
