Hugh Glass is best known for his incredible survival story. After being mauled by a grizzly, being left for dead and dragging himself nearly 250 miles across the country - his story, or at least a version of it, has been immortalized in the film The Revenant. But Hugh's life goes beyond his encounter with the bear - what came before and after are just as wild as a ride, and are worth movies of their own.

You might be surprised to know that John James Audubon spent a goodly part of the summer of 1843 in North Dakota in and around Fort Union Trading Post. As you might expect he and his associates spent much of their time documenting the flora and fauna of the area.
