Liver Eating Johnson

Most of us know him from the movie "Jeremiah Johnson."
John Johnson rode into the Montana Territory around 1846. He married a Flathead girl and built themselves a cabin. One day he returned home to find his wife killed by the Crow. Johnson swore an oath of vengeance. He killed every Crow brave that he could find. He would eat a piece the victim's liver after every kill, thus he was known as "Liver Eatin' Johnson." The Crow as you can imagine developed a great respect for the liver eater. Eventually he made peace with the Crow.
He later became Town Marshall of Red Lodge Montana.
Johnson died in Los Angeles in 1900.
With stories of men who knew him, Thorp and Bunker wrote a book about Johnson called "Crow Killer."
