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.

(October 2012). The Arikara War took place in August 1823 between the United States and the Arikara native Americans near the Missouri River, in present-day South Dakota.Arikara warriors had previously attacked a trapping expedition traveling on the river.The United States responded with forces of 230 soldiers of the 6th Infantry, 750 Sioux, and 50 trappers under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Leavenworth. Although brief, the conflict was noted for two reasons.irst, it was the first military conflict between the United States and the western native Americans, setting the tone for future encounters between Americans and the Crow and Blackfeet. Second, Leavenworth did not completely defeat the Arikara.
