I see some similarities to Jedidiah Smith's story in this film...

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2015)

Fur trappers attacked at a river. Survivors escape. Extreme cold winters. Barely surviving. Mr. Glass (Mr Smith) survives a grizzly bear attack. His injuries are life threatening,with half his face, ear, and scalp stitched back as good as can be by the only willing associate. I'm surprised nobody else has noticed these similarities. This is not actually a review. It is just an observation. I get my facts from a documentary entitled, Taming the Wild West: The Legend of Jedediah Smith. It is very compelling story about an extremely brave and talented pioneer in the history of the wild west. I recommend watching the documentary as well as this movie. The documentary is actually more entertaining.
