Long and well done
A little different version of the grizzly mauling?

Was thinking the same thing. But, since Griz was so heavily populated in that area, I thought two things;
1 - He is making up the story, which mountain men often did or,
2 - a different Griz attack.
Because we know Hugh Glass was buried and left for dead in the northern Wyoming/ Southern Dakota area. Jim Bridger and Fitzpatrick both relayed that info to the real Gen. Ashley. Glass also tracked down Bridger and in front of witnesses, promised to kill him for leaving him there. Only to relent due to Bridger's age and inexperience. He did track down Fitzpatrick to both kill him and take his rifle back. Only to discover Fitz had enlisted in the army. Which Glass was then only able to retrieve his rifle.
Where this attack seems to have taken place in the Oregon territory by the Green River.
