The Revenant.

[Colonial Boy]

Here it is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Grizzly

Thanks for that, I read it many years ago.
Here’s a bit from the WIKI,
”…describes the survival ordeal of a real mountain man, Hugh Glass, who was attacked by a bear and abandoned in the wilderness by his companions (a young Jim Bridger and John S. Fitzpatrick), on the assumption he could not possibly live. Glass, with a broken leg and open wounds, had to crawl most of the way to Fort Kiowa to reach safety. When crawling back, Hugh could only dwell on revenge to the men who abandoned him.”
but didn’t bury him, so the main point of the film never happened; somebody found themselves a new word to supplement their limited knowledge, “revenant”, and hence the film.

I read the book too. The guy sure didn't do his homework. Got it from the library. Thank God I didn't buy it. I still have "Lord Grizzly " in paperback l got 49 years ago, a great book.
