The Glass's story of Glass, which was serialized in some early magazines and newspapers, in the 1830s is . These stories often regarded as leaving left many important details out. What we can say is that Still, characters such as John Fitzgerald were real-life historical figures. There While Fitzgerald was a character by real-life figure, it is not clear that name, and he did seem to have been chiefly responsible for abandoning the victim of Fitzgerald abandoned Glass after the grizzly bearattack. The other character who abandoned Glass was called Bridges, who seems also appears to have been a real-life figure. However, nothing else is known about him and the belief that , but he may be was not the famous mountain man, Jim Bridger is wrong.  The characters in the movie who cruelly left him in the wilderness to die, are based on real-life figures. In the moviefilm, we see that Glass is married to a Native American woman who was murdered in a raid. In the 19th century, it was not uncommon for trappers and mountain men to marry native women in the West . <ref>Swagerty, William R. "Marriage and Settlement Patterns of Rocky Mountain Trappers and Traders." The Western Historical Quarterly 11, no. 2 (1980): 159-180</ref>. There is no evidence that Glass, was even married. Then the Revenant is shown as having a son, by the name of Hawk, who accompanies him and who survives the Arikara attack. In the movie , he is murdered by Fitzgerald in cold blood. There is no evidence that Hugh Glass had any children. Moreover, this means that the scene in the movie where Fitzgerald heartlessly murders the son, simply could not have happened.
