Where Does The Revenant Take Place

Jan 20, 2016 - Leonardo DiCaprio as Hugh Glass in The Revenant. Not certain of the precise details, the real Glass did get into a fight with a real bear, some time in August 1823. This didn't happen in real life, because Hawk didn't exist.

Jan 8, 2016 - Why The Grossest Part Of The Revenant's True Story Was Left Out Of The Film. Playing legendary frontiersmen Hugh Glass, Leonardo DiCaprio does some. It's all because of the snowy setting in which the film takes place. Jan 13, 2016 - Because it was primarily filmed in locations that did not include.

In, after Glass and a third of the original company narrowly escape an ambush by Arikara Native Americans, Glass makes the decision to abandon their raft and begin the journey back to Fort Kiowa on foot. Since so much action revolves around getting back to Fort Kiowa, as well as intrigue when Glass manages to return, it's worth knowing that Fort Kiowa was an actual place originally named Fort Lookout, which was a 19th-century American Fur Trading post in South Dakota. Unfortunately, fans won't be able to visit Fort Kiowa as it was abandoned in the 1840s, and later flooded.

However, fans can still visit the location of the infamous scene where Glass stumbles upon and is badly mauled by a grizzly bear wildly defending her cubs if you're feeling masochistic and a little creepy. According to the Telegraph, while no eyewitness account exists, reveals that it happened in 1823, five months after Glass joined a South Dakota fur-trapping expedition funded by Major Andrew Henry and William Henry Ashley. By that account, the horrific mauling took place near the banks of the Grand River when Glass unexpectedly came upon the grizzly bear and her two cubs. (On second thought, don't visit this place. It'd be weird. And possibly dangerous.).
