This month (exact date unknown, I believe) marks the 200th anniversary of the near-fatal grizzly mauling of mountain man Hugh Glass during the Rocky Mountain Fur Company's 1822-23 expedition. I made a paper figure set of the company years back that you can download and print:
Glass was stripped of his equipment & left for dead by the two companions who were supposed to wait with him until he died; he survived despite terrible wounds and trekked 200 miles to the nearest outpost. After recuperating, he set off to hunt down the two men who doomed him.
He found, and forgave, the teen Bridges (possibly a misnamed 18/19-year-old Jim Bridger), and then found Fitzgerald, who had joined the army. Told by Fitzgerald's officer that if he killed Fitz he would be killed himself, Glass let Fitz off with a warning: Leave the army, and you're dead.
Glass's survival yarn has been made into a movie twice: as the relatively recent Leo movie THE REVENANT, and back in the 70s as MAN IN THE WILDERNESS, with Richard Harris in the role.

They have different stuff on the tv at work sometimes and today was a History Channel show called Mountain Men and whoever is responsible for editing that is fucking bonkers
No word of a lie, but the longest time between cuts that I could discern was 8 seconds. Typically it was only 1 to 3 seconds between cuts. Just a barrage of visual information. Nigh incomprehensible.
