You will have to order this book, around 15$, but well worth it...

Crow Killer....by Bunker and Thorpe

It's the true story of John Johnson(Jeremaih Johnson)....he was known in the west as Liver Eater Johnson, and the movie follows his life quite well....

He was buried near San Deigo, but Robert Redford paid to have him removed and re-buried in the mountains around the Musselshell where he called home....R. Redford was a pall bear at his funeral....

If they would make a movie and not leave anything out...it would be close to an American Braveheart....Excellent read.....

Ranger, a friend of mine wrote Jermiah Johnson. It's been 12 years since I read his origianl version of the script (it went through about a dozen rewrites before it got made) but i could almost swear the original was titled CROW KILLER. I didn't realize he took it from the book.

And how come no one has listed THE SEARCHERS yet? It's considered the greatest western (and one of the greatest movies) of all time.

The movie is based somewhat upon the book...Mountain Man by....Vardis Fisher.

But, Crow Killer is the story that is historically correct....Vardis Fisher died in 1968, and I doubt either Bunker of Thorpe are alive as well...J. Johnson died in 1900, he also served in the Civi War, got out, and at the age of 63 became Sherrif of Red Lodge Montana...cleaned up that town, then faded back into the mountains...with his health failing, he wanted to see the ocean one time....he walked from Colorado to California....he died in an old soldiers home soon thereafter....
