Was an American frontiersman, fur trapper, fur trader, hunter, and explorer. Born inPennsylvania to Scotch-Irish parents, Glass became an explorer of the watershed of the Upper Missouri River, in present-dayMontana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the Platte River area of Nebraska. 

 

  Glass is best known for his story of survival and retribution, after being left for dead by companions, following his mauling by a grizzly bear.

 

  The life of Glass has been adapted into two feature-length films: Man in the Wilderness (1971) and The Revenant (2015), in the latter of which, Glass was portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in a performance that earned him an Academy

 

  Award, BAFTA and aGolden Globe. The retellings portray Glass, who in the best historical accounts made his way crawling and stumbling 200 miles (320 km) to Fort Kiowa, in South Dakota, after being abandoned without supplies or weapons by fellow explorers and fur traders during General Ashley's expedition of 1823.
