The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge Chapter 11: September 16, 1823 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • The formerly north-running river is turning eastward, and John Fitzgerald is flummoxed—so flummoxed, in fact, that he backhands Bridger for observing this out loud. Meanie.
  • Bridger suggests that they cut north rather than follow the river directly—they'll probably run right back into it. He feels confident about this.
  • Before they head north, Fitzgerald threateningly tells Bridger that they'd better get their story straight regarding Glass before they meet up with the others.
