Manage episode 387696431 series 3450754
The adventures of John "Liver Eat'n" Johnson...yup, quite a nickname. You may know him as Jerimiah Johnson, from the Robert Redford movie made in 1972 titled Jeramiah Johnson. The story of this her fella, is nothing short of legendary, and most would agree, a bit of villainous debauchery. Let's just say, he had a bit of some vengeance, revenge, and or hate running through his blood, after the unexpected murder of his pregnant wife. Some would say they had it coming after murdering his wife.
In the 1840's, things were just a little different, lawlessness, war, racism, and rampant killing were synonymous with the times. John "Liver Eat'n" Johnson did his share to add to the chaos. He made enough noise, to land himself into the history books. Some grade school students back in 1975 believed him enough of a legend to have his body relocated to Wyoming...yeah, that happened...we have so many questions...
