where is the location of the arikara attack on ashley
Glass would again return to the frontier as a trapper and fur trader. Later, he was employed as a hunter for the garrison at Fort Union. He was killed, along with two fellow trappers, in an attack by the Arikara on the Yellowstone River in the winter of 1833.shley (who was also with them) became convinced he would not survive his injuries. Ashley asked for two volunteers to stay with Glass until he died, and then bury him. Jim Bridger (then 19 years old) and Fitzgerald (then 23 years old) stepped forward, and as the rest of the party moved on, began digging his grave.
