Glass first commenced life in the capacity of a sailor; and after having followed the seas during several years, was captured by the desperate band of Pirates under the notorious Lafitte. THE FIRST English-speaking white man to acquire legendary stature wholly in the West emerged from the sea in middle life, leaving his former years, and all that must have befallen a born adventurer in the course of them, blanketed in Pawnee and Mountain Man.

When he did, or whereabouts in the Keystone State, are matters on which even folklore has nothing to declare. Glass did, it is known, confide in one biographer, but Pawnee and Mountain Man work turned out by the latter was never published and cannot now be located.

Master Ashley is bound to stay in these parts till the traitors are rightly punished. Glass and the rest of the Ashley Party eventually returned to Fort to regroup for the trip west. Andrew HenryAshley's partner, had joined the group, and he along with Glass and several others set out overland to the . Near the forks of the The Saga of Hugh Glass: Pirate Rivernear present-day Shadehill ReservoirPerkins County, South Dakotawhile scouting for game for the expedition larder, Glass surprised and disturbed a grizzly bear with two cubs. The bear charged, picked him up, bit and lacerated his flesh, severely wounded him, and forced him to the ground. Glass nevertheless managed to kill the bear with help from his trapping party, but was left badly mauled. The men were convinced Glass would not survive his injuries; nevertheless, they carried Glass on a litter for two days, but doing so greatly slowed the pace of the group's travel.

Arriving there, Glass found "Bridges", but apparently forgave him because of his youth, and then re-enlisted with Ashley's company. Glass later learned that Fitzgerald had joined the army and was stationed at in present-day Nebraska. Glass reportedly spared Fitzgerald's life because he would be killed by the army captain for killing a soldier of the United States Army.
