"We were more than honored when a relative of John Colter bought Wilderness and asked Roger and me to sign it. I asked her if we'd gotten the facts right and she said, 'Everything was perfect except for Colter's ears. They were big ones, like mine.' Roger and I laughed. It was one of those moments you never forget."
John Colter ran over a hundred miles with the best runners of the Blackfeet nation chasing him. Hugh Glass dragged himself out of a grave when he was left for dead. These two men inform the mythic history of the American West. Their story was etched in stone and wood, but seldom put together as a single narrative with the lilt and storytelling magic of the Odyssey, which it in some ways resembles. It is the only novel Roger Zelazny wrote with Gerald Hausman, his friend and neighbor in New Mexico, and it was one of Zelazny's admitted favorites, being also his only western novel.
