The survival story of Hugh Glass is as close to mythic as is possible in reality. Several novels (WILDERNESS; REVENANT), an atrocious film (MAN IN THE WILDERNESS, which turns the Glass character into a 19th century McGyver) and an excellent biography by John Myers Myers attest to the interest Glass's story still holds 190 years later. Frederick Manfred's LORD GRIZZLY is a fine fictional account of the legendary ordeal, but it is also an accurate and loving portrait of the Mountain Men of the 1820's who trail-blazed (the already blazed Indian Trails I might add) the mysterious American West. Manfred has written the dialect of the mostly illiterate (with minor exceptions such as Jedediah Smith) Mountain Men quite accurately, which at first can be confusing or off-putting to the reader, but soon becomes a direct reflection of the mindset of these uneducated, adventurous individuals (there is a collection called "Voices from the Wilderness: The Frontiersman's Own Story" which contains first & second hand accounts of famous mountain men that reads like a streamofconsciousness James Joyce novel; these men used punctuation and capitalization arbitrarily and spelling is, for the most part, phonetic; it is a fascinating glimpse at the western man's self-expression in the early 1800s). The language and descriptions Manfred uses are at times lyrical and flowery, but I found this appropriate to the setting (a seemingly edenic wilderness not yet sullied by industrial man), and it was in my opinion the finest aspect of this novel. My only problem with the novel is the writing of Glass's great 'crawl' back to safety. This is supposed to be the high-point of the novel; it is the moment that makes Glass's story legendary, and Manfred treats it as a plodding repetitious day by day almost-diary entry. Roger Zelazny handled this scene better in WILDERNESS with a hallucinatory quality to the writing, and he used it as a time for Glass to reflect on his past more fully than does Manfred. Some may say Manfred wants the reader to struggle through these 100 pages in order to 'feel' Glass's struggle to crawl back to civilization; however, I would rather read a succinct paragraph that relates that same struggle than to be bored for 100 pages; the 'experience' of reading can never relate, no matter who the writer or reader is, the harrowing experience of Glass's crawl. Other than that LORD GRIZZLY was a fine read.
