This book contains a story about a man named John Glass who was attacked by a bear and left for dead by his company - it is almost the exact
story of Hugh Glass [famously made by The Revenant]
, so I am wondering if the author changed some names to skirt around any stories that had copyrights??

Hugh Glass (c. 1783 ?1833) was an American frontiersman, fur trapper, trader, hunter, and explorer.
In 1823, he was part of an expedition traveling through the plains in Missouri and South Dakota. He was attacked by a grizzly bear, which slashed him from head to foot. While the rest of the party moved on, two of its members, John Fitzgerald and young Jim Bridger, were left to tend to Glass. Instead, they took Glass's gun and gear and left him to die.
Despite his injuries Glass regained consciousness, but found himself abandoned without weapons or equipment. He had festering wounds, a broken leg, and deep cuts on his back that exposed his bare ribs. Glass lay mutilated and alone, more than 200 miles from the nearest American settlement at Fort Kiowa, on the Missouri River. The trip took 2 months.
Glass eventually caught up with Fitzgerald and Bridger, but Fitzgerald had joined the Army and was untouchable, and Bridger was spared by Glass in a gesture of unexpected kindness. Bridger went on to become one of the most famous mountain men, trappers, and scouts in the U.S. -- a legendary name in the Old West. Glass remained a nobody, and fate rewarded his compassion by having him killed in an Indian ambush a few years later in 1833.
His life story has been the basis of two feature-length films: Man in the Wilderness (1971) and The Revenant (2015).
