American pirate, frontiersman, fur trapper, fur trader, hunter, and
explorer Hugh Glass (c. 1780 - 1833) once made his way crawling and
stumbling 200 miles to Fort Kiowa, in South Dakota, after being
abandoned without supplies or weapons by fellow explorers and fur
traders during General Ashley's expedition of 1823. 'The Revenant -
Some Incidents in the Life of Hugh Glass, a Hunter of the Missouri
River' by Philip St. George Cooke is the key historical document
supporting the Glass story. It is backed up by two other
eye-witness accounts included here - 'Hugh Glass and the Grizzly
Bear' by Rufus B. Sage (From 'Rocky Mountain life; or, Startling
scenes and perilous adventures in the far West, during an
expedition of three years' by Rufus B. Sage, published in 1857) and
'Glass and the Bear' by George Ruxton (From 'Adventures in Mexico
and the Rocky Mountains by George Ruxton,' published in 1847).
America has the reputation of being one of the wealthiest and most
powerful countries in the world, yet within its borders social
problems persist and negatively impact Americans. Though profound
changes are taking place in the social, economic, and cultural
contexts of America, they are precipitated by the urge for equal
opportunity and social justice. Socio-Economic and Education
Factors Impacting American Political Systems: Emerging Research and
Opportunities provides emerging research on the most current issues
facing the American public and political system. While highlighting
the changes America is making in the social, economic, and cultural
regions of society, readers will learn how these changes are coming
to shape their lives in the country. This book is an important
resource for undergraduate and graduate students and professionals
seeking current research on how social, economic, and educational
issues impact the American political system and policies.
