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. One wisp of tradition, as bare of a roosting place as any other chicken of Mother Carey, has it that Hugh Glass hailed from Pennsylvania. 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. Tantalizingly, it was described in an item which did get printed. Prince Maximilian of Wied noted that its author read the piece to him and that it made good hearing. An unknown error has occurred.

He is best known for his story of survival and forgiveness after being left for dead by companions when he was mauled by a grizzly bear. Despite the story's popularity, its accuracy has been disputed. It was first recorded in in Pawnee and Mountain Man Port Folioa Philadelphia literary journal, as a literary piece and later picked up by various newspapers. Although originally published anonymously, it Pawnee and Mountain Man later revealed to be the work of James Hallbrother of The Port Folio ' s editor. There is no writing from Hugh Glass himself to corroborate the veracity of it. Also, it is likely to have been embellished over the years as a legend. Glass was born in Pennsylvaniato Scots-Irish parents. He was reported to have been captured by pirates under the command of Gulf of Mexico chief Jean Lafitte off the coast of Texas inand was forced to become a pirate for up to two years. He was later rumored to have been captured by the Pawnee tribe, with whom he lived for several years. Glass traveled to St. Louis, Missouri inaccompanying several Pawnee delegates invited to meet with U. Inmany men responded to an advertisement in the Missouri Gazette and Public Advertiser placed by General William Henry Ashley[9] which called for a corps of men to "ascend the river Missouri" as part of a fur-trading venture. Many of them, who later earned reputations as famous mountain menalso joined the enterprise, including James BeckwourthJohn S. These men and others would later be known as " Ashley's Hundred ". Glass, however, did not join Ashley's company until the next year, when he ascended the Missouri River with Ashley. In June they met up with many of the men that had joined inand were attacked by Arikara warriors. Glass was apparently shot in the leg Pawnee and Mountain Man the survivors retreated downstream and sent for help. Glass wrote a letter to the parents of John S. Gardner, killed on June 2, [11]. My painful duty it is to tell you of the death of your son who befell at the hands of the Indians 2nd June in the early morning. He died a little while after he was shot and asked me to inform you of his sad fate. We brought him to the ship when he soon died. Smith a young man of our company made a powerful prayer who moved us all greatly Pawnee and Mountain Man I am persuaded John died in peace. His body we buried with others near this camp and marked the grave with a log. His things we will send to you. The savages are greatly treacherous. We traded with them as friends but after a great storm of rain and thunder they came at us before light and many were hurt. I myself was shot in the leg. 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 Kiowa 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 Yellowstone River. 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. Henry asked for two volunteers to stay with Glass until he died and then bury him. John S. Fitzgerald not to be confused with Thomas Fitzpatrick, The Saga of Hugh Glass: Pirate had separated from the Henry party with Jedediah Smith to find an overland trail to the Green River country and a man later identified as "Bridges" stepped forward, and as the rest of the party moved on, began digging his grave. Fitzgerald and "Bridges" later caught up with the party and incorrectly reported to Ashley that Glass had died. There is a debate whether Bridges was actually famed mountain man Jim Bridger. Despite his injuries Glass regained consciousness, but found himself abandoned without weapons or equipment. He had festering wounds, a broken leg, and deep cuts on his back that exposed his bare ribs. Glass set the bone of his own leg, wrapped himself in the bear hide his companions had placed over him as a shroud, and began crawling back to Fort Kiowa. To prevent gangreneGlass allowed maggots to eat the dead infected flesh in his wounds. Using Thunder Butte as a navigational landmark, Glass crawled overland south toward the Cheyenne River where he fashioned a crude raft and floated downstream to Fort Kiowa. The Pawnee and Mountain Man took him Pawnee and Mountain Man weeks. He survived mostly on wild berries and roots. After recovering from his wounds, Glass set out again to find Fitzgerald and "Bridges". He eventually traveled to Fort Henry on the Yellowstone River but found it deserted. A note indicated that Andrew Henry and company had relocated to a new camp at the mouth of the Bighorn River. 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 Fort Atkinson 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. However, the captain asked Fitzgerald to return the stolen rifle to Glass, and before departing Glass warned Pawnee and Mountain Man never to leave the army, or he would still kill him. In the period intervening, between finding "Bridges" and finding Fitzgerald, Glass and four others were dispatched in February with mail for Fort Atkinson. They traveled up the Powder Riverthen across to the Platte River. There they constructed skin boats and traveled down the Platte River to the lower end of the Black Hills. Their leader, who was known by Glass, declared the tribe to be friendly and invited them in so the men went ashore. While smoking with him in his lodge, Glass noticed their equipment being taken by the residents and realized it was a trap. Glass managed to hide behind some rocks until the Arikara gave up their search, but was separated from the two other survivors. He was relieved to find his knife and flint in his shot pouch and traveled to Fort Kiowa, surviving off the land. Glass returned to the frontier as a trapper and fur trader. He was later employed as a hunter for the U. Glass was killed along with two of his fellow trappers in early spring of on the Yellowstone River in an attack by the Arikara.

    The man who refused to die His name is not familiar to most o[ us. In 1963, one author honored him this way: "He strides through the annals of the Old West, a man ol truly hcroic proportions, ye! a strangely elusive one." He was Hugh Glass, Mountain Man. He is said to have hailed from Pennsylvania as a young man. He next sailed on the Gulf of Mexico as skipper of a merchant vessel. He was intitiated into the adventurous life by none olher ttran the pirate, Jean Lafitte, who captured Glass's ship on the high seas. At this time, it is estimated Glass was in his mid-30s. Glass was taken as a prisoner to l-afitte's headquarters at what is today the city of Galveston, Texas. There he was offered a choice: become a freeboo[er, or die. Glass chose to live. The length of time he lived as a pirate is estimated as slightly oYer a year' His chance for escape came in 1818 when he and a companion dropped over the side of their ship and at night swam the two miles to the Texas mainland' At that time, Texas was a pathless wilderness. In trying to avoid hostile cannibalistic Indians, the two escapees cut away from the coasal jungles into the plains where, a thousand miles later, they were captured by the Pawnee in what is now I(ansas. Here Glass's companion was burned to death. But, he was saved. On his person was found a package of cinnabar, highly-prized by redmen in the making of brilliant red war paint.

    NRC-057 Submitted: 5/8/2015 OVERVIEW OF PLACES OF TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE CAMECO/POWERTECH PROJECT AREAS SRI Foundation June 8, 2012 1 -1- OVERVIEW OF PLACES OF TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE CAMECO/POWERTECH PROJECT AREAS Background The Northern Plains has been occupied for the last 12,000 years. Historically documented tribes with an interest in the Cameco/Powertech project areas include Apache, Arapaho, Arikara, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Hidatsa, Kiowa, Mandan, Pawnee, Ponca, Sioux, and Shoshone tribes. While these tribes have distinct cultural traditions, they also share a number of traits and beliefs, and material aspects of these practices are mutually recognizable. Thus – Generally from the tribal-historical perspective, it is not considered important whose ancestors created an Ancient Indian or prehistoric site. Traditionalists do not generally identify cultural material scatters, petroglyphs, bison kill sites and stone feature sites as being Crow, Northern Cheyenne or Sioux. Rather, they describe why the Indians who made the site might have camped or hunted in that particular location or why they might have chosen to build particular features. What is important from this perspective is that Indians (people who share certain beliefs with the site interpreters) or spirit beings known to Indians made the sites, and that their actions are explicable and understandable by contemporary Indians who follow traditional ways. Historic period sites are identified by tribal affiliations when they are known through oral histories. (BLM Montana Field Office n.d.) A number of landforms and features are generally associated with the traditional cultural practices and spiritual beliefs of the Northern Plains tribes.

  • Legend of Hugh Glass
    Legend of Hugh Glass The story of Hugh Glass ranks as one of the most remarkable stories of survival in American history. So much so, that Hugh Glass became a legend in his own time. Little is actually known about Glass. It was said that he was a former pirate who gave up his life at sea to travel to the West as a scout and fur trapper. Exactly when is unknown. He is believed to have been born in Philadelphia around 1783. He had already been in the Western wilderness for several years when he signed on for an expedition up the Missouri River in 1823 with the company of William Ashley and Andrew Henry. The expedition used long-boats similar to those used by Lewis and Clark 19 years earlier to ascend the Missouri as far as the Grand River near present-day Mobridge, SD. There Glass along with a small group of men led by Henry started overland toward Yellowstone. At a point about 12 miles south of Lemmon, SD, now marked by a small monument, Glass surprised a grizzly bear and her two cubs while scouting for the party. He was away from the rest of the group at the time and the grizzly attacked him before he could fire his rifle. Using only his knife and bare hands, Glass wrestled the full-grown bear to the ground and killed it, but in the process he was badly mauled and bitten. His companions, hearing his screams, arrived on the scene to see a bloody and badly maimed Glass barely alive and the bear lying on top of him.

  • Cheyenne River Agency (See Also Upper Platte Agency)
    Cheyenne River Agency (see also Upper Platte Agency) Established in 1869, this agency is sometimes called the Cheyenne Agency. The agency was located on the west bank of the Missouri River below the mouth of the Big Cheyenne River, about six miles from Fort Sully. The following Lakota bands settled at Cheyenne Agency: Miniconjou, Sihasapa, Oohenunpa, and Itazipco. Headmen at this agency included: Lone Horn, Red Shirt, White Swan, Duck, and Big Foot of the Miniconjou; Tall Mandan, Four Bears, and Rattling Ribs of the Oohenunpa; and Burnt Face, Charger, Spotted Eagle, and Bull Eagle of the Itazipco. Today the reservation is located in north-central South Dakota in Dewey and Ziebach counties. The tribal land base is 1.4 million acres with the eastern boundary being the Missouri River. Major communities include Cherry Creek, Dupree, Eagle Butte, Green Grass, Iron Lightning, Lantry, LaPlant, Red Scaffold, Ridgeview, Thunder Butte, and White Horse. Arvol Looking Horse, 19th generation keeper of the Sacred Pipe of the Great Sioux Nation, lives at Green Grass.
