Fascinating to see how honourably, bravely and decently people behave, when they’re outside of their, “tribal,” pressures of society and just left to think and do for themselves. Moving and tragic story, but with lots of hope mixed in with the horror. Thanks for that.
That was the first book that my dad bought me way back when I was about 13 years old. I was very disappointed at the movie about Jeremiah Johnson. This is no slight on the actors. But the book was much better than the movie. I wished Hollywood could fall the books a little more closely.
@kevinportersr2368 Do you mean "Crow Killer" or "Mountain Man"? The stories in "Crow Killer" were supposedly true and a lot more violent than the movie
Same as the book Jaws. The book was so much better. I waited and waited for the oceanographer to get eaten in the movie but that never happened 😞. Oh yeah he was also having an affair with the policeman wife in the book
Somewhere in the mountains near where the Johnson's lived is an iron pot with the bones that survived the burning of the cabin. The Book describes what he did and where he hid the remains. The bones of his wife and his unborn child.
@@chaptersofwisdom let's go find em, I ain't ever been out west but I've been to The Great Smokie Mountains, prolly 50 times, it's such a beautiful place and if I'm lucky enough to be able to choose where I die the Smokies would be the place, just throw my body in the woods and let me become part of the mountains.
The book is always better than the movie. I was given a copy of "Dances with Wolves" before the movie came out. After watching it I was wishing I hadn't read the book until after I saw the movie. That way I wouldn't have been disappointed!
@justdoingitjim7095 That's a great novel too, however I just read it myself and it brings up a lot of problems you wouldn't realize with just the movie. More videos coming in the next few months
Such a good movie, what a wild time in the history of America. God how i long to live like a mountain man of old times. Ive read a ton of my pa's books of the mountain man and smoke jenson i believe i fell in love with storys from the wild west an even earlier.
Not only of this story but it seems that people always find a way to make money off of tragedy. Materalizing Crazy Woman's name, to me is wrong, but it's done a lot.
Irritating ads: negative brand and product recognition takes but a moment and lasts forever. If the ads are so 'popular' and 'interesting' put them at the end of the video, you may not get as much NEGATIVE product recognition. Everyone pass this
@davidinsvaz7883 Totally agree, I don't like ads either but they provide some compensation for making these videos, and the configuration is pretty generic for all channels
@PAULWARREN-r6m The book "Crow Killer" uses misspellings to simulate regional accents, but I decided to spare you the cringe of hearing my fake mountain man accent :)

I read the book Crow Killer. It's more gruesome than the movie portrayed.
@RyeGrog1 Yes I agree, all the scalping was a surprise. "Watch your topknot" if you were found alone. Plus the livers
Wow, very sad, but good informative. Thanks for showing. John P.
@user-gt2lh2ec9e Yeah those were rough times for everyone. Thanks for leaving a comment
Interesting, one of my favourite movies of all time

If you want to read a really good book, read Clavell’s Shogun. 1000 pages and full of stuff that didn’t make it into the miniseries.

@alanpearson7554 Would be amazing to find that pot, Johnson's old cabin, and Crazy Woman's cabin!

@ballbby3775 Lots of great stories but what a hard life!
Didn't know they had Wikipedia then
@michaelarmbruster586 LOL - yeah, that's how Johnson knew which poison to use
Not only of this story but it seems that people always find a way to make money off of tragedy. Materalizing Crazy Woman's name, to me is wrong, but it's done a lot.
ANother great video! Is this fiction or history?
@AngriestAmerican Thank you! And I'd have to call it exaggerated history but a great story
Good video.
Thank you!

Yes - the Crazy mountains are named after her.
@bdg77 There seems to be some debate about that, need to look into it further
“destroyed”? don't you mean, murdered.
@larryjanson4011 We have to be careful about what words UA-cam will flag as inappropriate (as stupid as that sounds)
Johnson ended the fued when he killed all the warriors sent to kill him.
@jjpenny1 That's another way to look at it. I suppose ending the feud and making peace are not the same thing
Montana has fallen
@laurie113 You mean recently? Talking about the immigrants from Wyoming and California?
A pile of stuns, crazy, all this time I pronounced it STONES. AI..phew..
