9. Hugh Glass
In August 1823 in a fur trapping expedition Glass was thought to be dead after a fight with a bear, who he managed to kill somehow. He was unconscious though. He had to endure living with a broken leg. He lived on wild berries and roots. He reached Cheyenne River he crossed it building a raft. Six weeks later he found a tribe of natives who were friendly to him and helped him out by giving him bear hide to cover wounds on his back. He then reached Fort Kiowa. There is a movie about him called The Revenant.
