THIS STORY:
John "Liver-Eating" Johnson, born John Jeremiah Garrison Johnston, was said to be a mountain man of the American Old West. He was born with the last name Garrison, in the area of the Hickory Tavern near Pattenburg, New Jersey. During the Mexican–American War he served aboard a fighting ship. After striking an officer, he deserted, changed his name to John Johnston, and traveled west to try his hand at gold digging in Alder Gulch, Montana Territory. He then became a "woodhawk," supplying cord wood to steamboats. He also trapped wolves.
Rumors and legends about Johnson started to grow. Perhaps top among them is that in 1847, his wife, a member of the Flathead American Indian tribe, was killed by Crow braves, which prompted Johnson to embark on a vendetta against the tribe.
Legends grew; It was then said that he killed and scalped more than 300 Crow Indians and then devoured their livers to avenge the death of his wife. It went on from there.
The movie with Robert Redford "Jeremiah Johnson" was based on him - and it is now proven to be all fake. Redford and crew didn't know it back then. As the 20th century turned, this whole legend unraveled. Most of these stories were lies perpetuated by a popular book called "Crow Killer", by Raymond Thorp and Robert Bunker.
But an archivist at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Museum in Cody Wyoming named Nathan Bender paints the true story of this man. He has since written the new introduction of the book "Crow Killer".

_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

The deadfall area I walked - the burnt trees, was the result of a big fire there 5 years ago.

Thanks, Ron, for sharing this interesting story with us!!! Those beautiful scenes and the nature around you were superb 👌 👍🏻👏👏
-
What a story Ron and what beautiful photography too I might add! What's wrong with that guy who won't let you film? That's just like cutting off his nose to spite his face. He would probably get a lot more tourists from those who watch your video then any he would lose because of it. Video's I watch are what draws me to want to see something in person. That just makes no sense.

Can't wait as usual! Happy Sunday Gang!

I loved this video. So close to m home in Mile City. I live right on the Yellowstone River. I met Chief Joe Crow many times. A most wonderful man. I have had the deepest pleasure of working with the Crow in Montana. Great video Ron. I am so impressed with the fact that you dig for facts.
-
Thanks Ron for sharing such an interesting story and such beautiful scenery with us. I have always wanted to visit Yellowstone. So many tales from there.
-
Wow, this is some beautiful country. I was always in awe as a young man by the ruggedness of these men. All in search of beaver pelts. I think this is my favorite of your many videos. Thank you, Ron..
-
Ron I just love your channel and Chris of Wittdocs I learn so much from the two of you. I love watching y’all’s videos before bedtime. The music y’all choose and the two of you have such a soothing and relaxing voice. That’s a very special gift to have. I could listen to the two of all the time. You both know how to capture someone’s attention while telling the story. I pray you have a safe and blessed week ahead. 🙏🙏✝️✝️

Wow, Ron, I loved this! Growing up in the Rocky Mountains, I love everything about them, the early West and anything about the First Nation people! Sorry your dreams were shattered, but still an interesting story, great presentation! Love the hat, a great look for you!! Look forward to future stories from you.

Good afternoon Ron and Happy Sunday. Hope all is well with you? I turned on my notification and be trying pay attn when you get started here. I have a son usually calls me around 8, but I'm no missing this . Have a good rest of your day. One day I told my family I wish we could meet you at one of the cemeteries if was ok with you. That be kl Ty for all you do. I learned more from you than all my years of schooling . I feel I know you through video. I don't know maybe since 2009 we have crossed paths Chicago. that would be so neat. I have so much respect for you I know others does this but you have best ways and respectful too ty xxx
-
Great story, Ron. Thank you! There was a massive fire at Yellowstone back in the late 1980s. I drove past it on my way home on leave from Malmstrom AFB back then. I wonder if that's the fire that took out all those trees you were standing around. A lot of them were charred.
-
I liked the Robert Redford film, though I always thought it was a generic "Mountain man" story rather than strictly factual.
-
That's pretty crappy to poison wolves. Some of mankind are so cruel and evil. If John Johnson did that with the liver of the man he killed , he's just as sickening. Well, I'll never be able to go there so he won't get my 12.00 anyway. He's a jerk. Thank you Ron, I love hearing about things that I otherwise would never know about. ☺
-
Characters like that would be institutionalized nowadays...or they'd have their own reality show.
-
Hey everyone!!! Looking forward to this one. I lived in Cody & Worland in the late 70’s. Yes i have some years on me 🤠🤠🤠
