Glass, Hugh

    0.02 sec.
Glass, Hugh (fl. 1823–33) trapper, frontier legend; birthplace unknown. He first appeared when he joined William Henry Ashley's second Missouri River expedition (1823). Attacked and wounded by a grizzly bear, he was abandoned by his companions, Jim Bridger and a man named Fitzgerald. He recovered and crawled over 100 miles to Fort Kiowa. He caught up with his former companions and lectured them soundly, but after recovering his rifle from Fitzgerald, he declared the account closed. He continued on trapping expeditions and was renowned for his skills and eccentricities. He was killed by Blackfeet Indians.
