Jeremiah Johnson, the movie, with Robert Redford, is based on Johnson’s life. Much of the film was on/ near Redfords property in Utah. Redford also took part in the reburial of Johnson...The movie, made in ‘72 is still a good watch...
Childhood abuse is a terrible thing, and if not treated causes problems in later life. He had problems with authority, which made it difficult with some jobs, but he tried to do the right thing and at the end this was recognized.
I have just found this history of Johnston. Thanks for posting. I wrote this poem about him in the 1980's. Jeremiah Johnston, Was Montana born and bred, In the backwoods by the mountains Where the townsfolk feared to tread, It was there amongst the towering pines He would set his traps and snare's A- hunting for a living After beaver, deer or bears. He was wedded to a flathead squaw Swan- Women was her name But one night when he was hunting A band of Crow, they came, Like shadows in the moonlight, Like serpents on the crawl, They found Swan- woman all alone And took her one and all. Jeremiah returned in the morning, And found her lying there Bloody and naked and dead on the ground, His soul filled with despair. He howled at the sky in anguish Like a wolf who has lost its mate And he swore to avenge his beloved No matter how long it may take. He buried Swan Women By the mountain, That will stand for evermore And as he wept there alone he etched on a stone SWAN WOMEN MY WIFE MY SQUAW.
Jeremiah set off in the morning To track down the party of Crow, And he found them in the evening Sitting hard by the campfires glow The sound of laughter filled the air They thought they were quite safe Then he burst forth into their lair Like a mad avenging wraith. They beheld the bloodlust in his eyes And they arose and tried to flee Seven made it to the woods, But Jeremiah slew him three, And as those that had escaped Peeped through the trees in fear They saw their comrade's bloody end, And a howling they did hear. And right there beside the campfire They beheld a dreadful sight, A demon drenched in Indian blood, Silhouetted by the light, A scene of horror greeted them Each one did quake and shiver For Jeremiah Johnston laughed As he ate each victim's liver.
Now for many years he hunted Those Indians that had fled, And one by one he tracked them down 'till everyone was dead, And always he would leave a sign As to how they met their end, For none were found with a liver, 'till Swan Woman was avenged. Now I'm not sure if this is true But often it is said That naughty children of the Crow Before they go to bed Are told that they must mend their ways And promise to be good 'Else Liver Eating Johnston Will be waiting in the woods.
Jeremiah Jonson is one of best films out there! It was made just before the era of Idiocracy set in. Today it would be almost impossible to make such a movie. I hope we'll return to some kind of normality one day.
@@truthbydesign5146 That's right. I live in the land of the Flathead, Crow, and Blackfeet (not "Blackfoot" like he kept saying in this video). I know of no oral traditions from any of these three tribes that support any of this tale. I have heard no oral traditions about a Jeremiah Johnson, period.
Thank you for sharing this amazing story of this Man's life 💙 Can't wait to watch the film that everyone has stated too.. Many thanks Forgotten Lives 👌💯
It's why I watch Docs. You learn something new. Didn't know his wife's death and personal Crow war was a myth. I immediately knew this was what the movie was based on.
@@rongarritson7627 Not only that, his legendary vendetta against the Crow is fiction, too, like they mentioned in this video. I live in the land of the Flathead, Crow, and Blackfeet (not "Blackfoot" like he says in the video).

@@BigBri550 that right there sounds like some new age woke bs. You know some Indians and they don't have stories about it, that's your case? How about one of you show some actual evidence for what you're claiming? Instead of speaking like you're some kind of accredited researcher we're supposed to just take your word.
@@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman I'm not asking anyone to take my word for anything. What I am saying is that our local tribes are excellent historians, and Johnston/Johnson is conspicuously absent from their collective histories. That is why I doubt the veracity of the "Liver Eatin' Johnson" narrative the film promulgated.
I am surprised to hear this narration. I know American stories are shared the world over, but hearing English narrators is still a novelty for me. Thanks for the information.
Some men back in those days seemed to have lived several peoples lives worth of experiences in just one life. When I think of the term "liver eating" I think of someone who is a ruthless killer and fighter. So even though some stories maybe embellished it is easy to believe he would have killed many of the Crow people. I really enjoyed this video thank you 💕
@@Soothsayer-rs5nb No it was Crow. In fact that's the name of the referenced book: "Crow Killer" The Saga of Liver Eatin' Johnston. The book has a somewhat different take on his adventures than this video. It's worth a read as it is short and easily obtainable. It's hard to know the truth as most of these mountain men had the gift of embellishment. Most of the stories are from cross referenced diaries from various mountain men who knew him. I'd like to see a modern movie version of his life, one without Hollywood's need to change the story, one that more closely models what we know of him.
From what I’ve learned (that wasn’t mentioned here), most of the men that knew Johnson were very much afraid of him. And if they said something about him that wasn’t true, he would find them and beat the crap out of them. He would be considered a ruthless killer by today’s standards.
@@arctodussimus6198 He later fought in the Indian wars quite successfully and it appears often on his own. With his temperament he didn't take much guff from others and was held in esteem, although he did not kill indiscriminately so he was hardly a ruthless killer, but very tough, smart and dangerous.
He was ambushed by natives and out of respect they let him go, it was winter, he was stripped naked and allowed to keep his knife. At the point of near death through hyperthermia he came across a pack of wolves who had just killed a moose. He fought the wolves off, crawled inside the moose to warm up and then skinned it. Then he walked 200 miles along the snow river to the nearest civilization. I read his life story 60 years ago and was totally in awe of this man, I still am ! Not mentioned elsewhere but he was a good cook and his biscuits were famous locally.
Movie was on tv yesterday must have seen it 50 + times! know the script by off by heart. The characters in movie brilliant, bought the book, as well. Thought the movie better than book even though book was true to his life. Can't imagine living like he did we all have grown soft!

Jude Lewis when it comes to nonces and rapists absofukinglutely !!!! It’s a vile sess pit of peadaphiles and enablers.Bad people bring out the bad in me... don’t blame the messenger flower.
I live by red lodge MT where his old cabin is and his Hawkins rifle and knife is in the Cody museum an hour away. His grave is also there. Gives me chills every time I go there.
I personally had never heard of John Johnson before, what a interesting life he had. I love stories about the Old West, so that alone peaked my interest. He endured a life of "horrific" tragedies, his abusive father and the murder of his pregnant wife. In spite of this he went on to accomplish a lot in his lifetime. Great investigation work.
He never even took a bite out of the liver and never had a vendetta against the Crow. Never married and the never was a Bear Claw Chris Lapp, Del Gue or a Crazy Woman. Johnston didn't come to Montana until 1862.
He didn't actually eat the liver, he did cut it out. Only to take a bite, spit it out, and throw it all in the dirt. Showing his contempt for those victims.
Andrew Garcia wrote a very good book about his life in Montana, 1877, "A tough Trip Through Paradise" some of his things are in the National archives, that would be some interesting research!
Thank you for this story! What a tale! I’ve always been interested in this story, after finding out the movie was a (kindof) true story. You’ve added a LOT of information that I didn’t know from my casual perusing. 👍. And what mythology. Like he’s going to spend time hacking off some guys leg while he’s trying to escape😂
always amazes me to hear these stories and find out these wild West frontier guys ended up dying in some nursing home in some big city someplace it's kind of sad I always thought they died doing what they loved
When I hear people say Irish or Scottish there obviously Scots Irish the people of then six ulster counties who were the first non English group to settle America. Most of the first pioneers and mountain men were these people like Davy Crockett Sam Houston and Jim Bowie
@Jo Sm I am saying most historians talk about the pre Irish catholic migration to America as a native Irish migration they don’t mention they are not native Irish and are dissenting
My last name is Johnson and my father always insisted that we were direct descendants of liver-eating Johnson used to love talking about that in the bar when we stopped after duck hunting
Ah, those family tales. I have a few too lol. I think that they honestly believe them🤷♀️. Not to say that some of them aren’t true, but I take them with a grain of salt😉. Doesn’t stop me from repeating them, though lol.
Perhaps I'm too picky but the British narrator was starting to get redundant with the "Native American" stuff he could have just said "Native" or "Indian" or "Tribal". But I do get it, If you are a "Native British person" Other wise a good and informative presentation.
Hello, I really do love this channel, the story's will take you back to the time it all did happened. But there is only one thing that is a little bothering, and that is the hum sound to be heard when you are narrating is there a possibility that you get rid of the humming sound? Please keep up going to tell the beauty full stories. Thank you
Thank you for this very informative video! I enjoyed the Redford film but thought it was at best semi-fictional and there wasn’t any Internet to research much farther. Now we know!
He spent 12 years on whale boats. They don't have a reputation for feeding the crew very well plus extremely hard work while young would tend to build a man up.
He said young teenager some people consider once you hit double digits with age to be a teenager. A 10 year old doing tough work in that time was very common.
This is a great example of how history gets convoluted. The narrator goes back and forth from calling him Johnson and sometimes Johnston. If you listen you can hear it. In the beginning he even calls him John Garrison Johnson putting his last name as his middle.
Vardis Fisher wrote the book. It's a historical novel and therefore reflects the ideology of the time. The Indigenous peoples were not at all neighbourly at most times to interlopers. It's a good book and has that feel of Huckleberry Finn.
@Fred Teall Maybe the internet, and commenting on stuff, isn't for you, Fred. You'll find a lot of people don't live up to Fred Teall's exacting standards.

I have just found this history of Johnston. Thanks for posting.
I wrote this poem about him in the 1980's.
Jeremiah Johnston,
Was Montana born and bred,
In the backwoods by the mountains
Where the townsfolk feared to tread,
It was there amongst the towering pines
He would set his traps and snare's
A- hunting for a living
After beaver, deer or bears.
He was wedded to a flathead squaw
Swan- Women was her name
But one night when he was hunting
A band of Crow, they came,
Like shadows in the moonlight,
Like serpents on the crawl,
They found Swan- woman all alone
And took her one and all.
Jeremiah returned in the morning,
And found her lying there
Bloody and naked and dead on the ground,
His soul filled with despair.
He howled at the sky in anguish
Like a wolf who has lost its mate
And he swore to avenge his beloved
No matter how long it may take.
He buried Swan Women
By the mountain,
That will stand for evermore
And as he wept there alone
he etched on a stone
SWAN WOMEN
MY WIFE
MY SQUAW.
Jeremiah set off in the morning
To track down the party of Crow,
And he found them in the evening
Sitting hard by the campfires glow
The sound of laughter filled the air
They thought they were quite safe
Then he burst forth into their lair
Like a mad avenging wraith.
They beheld the bloodlust in his eyes
And they arose and tried to flee
Seven made it to the woods,
But Jeremiah slew him three,
And as those that had escaped
Peeped through the trees in fear
They saw their comrade's bloody end,
And a howling they did hear.
And right there beside the campfire
They beheld a dreadful sight,
A demon drenched in Indian blood,
Silhouetted by the light,
A scene of horror greeted them
Each one did quake and shiver
For Jeremiah Johnston laughed
As he ate each victim's liver.
Now for many years he hunted
Those Indians that had fled,
And one by one he tracked them down
'till everyone was dead,
And always he would leave a sign
As to how they met their end,
For none were found with a liver,
'till Swan Woman was avenged.
Now I'm not sure if this is true
But often it is said
That naughty children of the Crow
Before they go to bed
Are told that they must mend their ways
And promise to be good
'Else Liver Eating Johnston
Will be waiting in the woods.
Great poem, I highly enjoyed it!
Awesome poem

He said young teenager some people consider once you hit double digits with age to be a teenager. A 10 year old doing tough work in that time was very common.
Most of this is untrue!
Good call ,Sherlock
This is a great example of how history gets convoluted. The narrator goes back and forth from calling him Johnson and sometimes Johnston. If you listen you can hear it. In the beginning he even calls him John Garrison Johnson putting his last name as his middle.
The photo at the beginning looks like Hatchet Jack from the movie.
Very much so.
I have to wonder if Sydney Pollack did that deliberately.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I'd lay money that he did.
@@MrCSRT8 Agreed
Vardis Fisher wrote the book.
It's a historical novel and therefore reflects the ideology of the time.
The Indigenous peoples were not at all neighbourly at most times to interlopers.
It's a good book and has that feel of Huckleberry Finn.
A few pictures that were shown, were of Jim Bridger. Totally different person unfortunately.
@Fred Teall of course i am, i am a huge fan of the mountian man/free fur trapping era
@Fred Teall huh? Why ? It should be depicted accurately. No worries though im sure they will read these comments
@Fred Teall Maybe you should. Few would consider her initial response smug; your subsequent responses, however...
@Fred Teall mountains out of molehills
@Fred Teall Maybe the internet, and commenting on stuff, isn't for you, Fred. You'll find a lot of people don't live up to Fred Teall's exacting standards.
Bro 260 lean at 6 foot is absolute UNIT

This must be wrong. He was a teen when he left home, spent twelve years on a ship, so how was he only 22 years old when he left the boat??! 😆😂
Perplexing
He was also capable of stopping time?
@@guambyguambelle1864 he invented time. Central/Pacific/⛰ also Paul Bunyan was his cousin. Babe the blue ox was their pet.
Yeah that's correct, he was 10 teen when he left home. LOL.

The best account I have read of Johnson is "Crow Killer" by Raymond Thorp. There are plenty of details sourced from people who knew him.
What an interesting man, whether all of its true or not!
I would like to hear your sources. You have many changed details from what I've heard from several sources.
I'm sure what We could agree on is that Story's change at each telling.
