John Colter's Run
In 1809, one of America’s first mountain men - John Colter - was captured by hostile Blackfeet warriors. His companion was killed. But Colter - stripped naked and without any weapons - was given a chance to live. It was a cruel game pitting him against hundreds of armed Blackfeet. The only advantage he had was a few hundred yards lead. This is the story of John Colter’s Run.
