About Me

Hell, I’ve never been much of a talker – I’m more of what you might call a man of action. I’ve had my share of adventure, including a little dust up with a bear followed by a mighty hard journey (which if you've heard of me at all is probably why you have). But, damn, like I said – I’m not much of one for talkin’, so if you want to get my story (and I promises that it’s a good ‘n), go to my blog and read The Legend of Hugh Glass, where some writer fellow told my story nice and purty-like, then read what they have to say about me here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Glass and then read some of the books that I listed in my interest section.
