The REAL Jeremiah Johnson aka Liver-Eating Johnson

11 місяців тому

John “Liver Eating” Johnson was the inspiration behind 1972’s Jeremiah Johnson but the real man’s life was even more extraordinary than portrayed on film. Johnson/Johnstone was a sailor, soldier, fur trapper, prospector, scout, Indian fighter, and lawman. Sometimes a good guy, sometimes a bad guy, and always larger than life. Dubbed "Liver-Eating" due to a chilling tale of vengeance, he allegedly killed Crow warriors and consumed their livers, but are these stories true? Later in his life, Johnston assumed the role of constable in Coulson, Montana, and served as a town marshal in Red Lodge. However, his journey came to an end in 1900 when he passed away in a veteran's hospital in Los Angeles. Decades later his remains would be relocated to Cody, Wyoming, where they now rest alongside other legendary figures of the Old West. #wildwest #history #western

It is a very realxing and inspiring movie. I was a kid when it came out. Pushed me out into the woods, and also taught me some respect, and care. I was a kid, so didn't care about the actual history. It's cool to hear all these tales, though. It's still a special movie to me. I love the woods, can't stand cities. Rode the subways in NYC for decades..lol.

Loved the film and the stories I had heard about this guy. Now I stand corrected and thrilled. So happy there’s some fact behind the myth. Truth is more complicated and interesting than myth, as this episode proves that beyond any shadow of a doubt. Thanks man.

@WildWestExtravaganza 10 місяців тому

This is a common misconception. I triple checked due to my own inclination to often mispronounce words. It is indeed pronounced the way I say it in this episode - Nez Purse. I actually spoke with a Nez Perce lol. Also, google the Nez Perce and watch a few videos of them speaking. They say it the same way too. I have no doubt that Pierced Nose in French is like you say, but I'll defer to the tribe as far as how to say their name.

I was about to say that if you were speaking French that would be how to pronounce the words, but as the term is being spoken in English to English speakers the pronunciation is correct because that is how we pronounce those vowels and consonants. We don't strive for classical Latin or ecclesiastical Latin perfect pronunciation when we say "et cetera" either, because the term is pronounced with English rules not Latin ones when spoken by Anglophones.

@joshportie 4 місяці тому

No man has unquestionable integrity and honesty. It gets even worse when books get revised and newer history books say the exact opposite of old ones with no real evidence to do so. This isnt always the case but it does happen. I was never very interested in this topic growing up my area of interest was the world history. Religion or beliefs of the groups, what people believe more than anything else determines their actions. Doing a broad general approach like this gives you the border for the jigsaw puzzle assuming you put it together right. But you really wont know unless you zoom in and make sure all the sections match and arent just jammed together because you want it to. I appreciate channels like yours and I hope you are able to be financially stable enough to raise a family if you want it. But back to the original topic, honesty. If I say something thats false but believe it am I lieing? Because I odviously wouldnt be telling truths. Id be telling what I would term honest lies. If you look into Islam for instance and really look at the history its clear the leaders never believed it, theres been deliberate changes throughout its history to the texts and the leaders do things that demonstrate they themselves could not possibly believe. Being a historian today is like sifting through quicksand searching for slippery tentacles. And thats what you are, albeit a specialist. Theres very few people who do what you do. A keeper of stories. You dont have to work for a museum or a king to be a historian, or have gone to a school (as if they teach history anyway). You have to read history books, know history, convey those stories to the best of your ability. I think thats what youre doing, though in the world of deception who can know anything for certain. Anyways God bless you if youre trying to be an honest one.

@michaeldean9338 10 місяців тому

This was pretty well researched. The host/ narrator has rightfully debunked LOTS of the myth surrounding this particular figure. I LOVED the film-- still do-- but, years later-- and since developing an interest in the history of the early North American Fur-Trade and various American Indigenous cultures, in general-- you soon start sifting through the misinformation and lore. Which there is LOTS of. That said, I still LOVE the highly exaggerated journals and interviews of these, otherwise, amazing men and their adventurers. Many accounts I've heard about Johnson over the years, as gripping as the varying interpretations may have been-- a number of the events depicted in the film would leave one scratching their head. Though it was an intense film at the time-- even to this, then, 9-10 year old-- the scene with Redford kicking the hell out of these HIGHLY skilled Indigenous characters with such relative ease-- like most Westerns prior to, say, the mid '70s --- I knew was simply to accentuate the high-adventurousness of an otherwise damned good story. I know series like 'Legends and Lies' pissed off a number of people that dive head first into this particular era, because it debunked lots of what is typically taught in the classroom. That said, whichever the degree of farfetched interpretation aside, to have actually ventured into , and exist, in that area of the country --at this particular time in history-- without doubt, you had to had been one tough SOB! A complete badazz if you were able to had survived more than 2-3 years. 7+ years-- certainly PRIOR to, say, 1835-- would definitely put you at Rock-Star status in my book! (sorry for all the errors and faulty grammar. Had to write this real quick.) I'm really enjoying this channel.

I learned to hunt fish and appreciate nature there. Ironically I also saw the film Jeremiah Johnson for the first time there without knowing that the man himself was born yards from where I saw it (like I said it’s a tiny town ) I had to stop the podcast and call my father to tell him ,thank you for your excellent podcast !

I got recurrent tick fever last year and it likedbto kill me. I kept goimg to work taking a combination of Ibu and Tylenol for about two weeks but every night, my fever would spike up to 102 and get terrible body aches, joint pain, nausea, and wicked chills. Id been to 2 different walk in clinics over the weeks and was on antibiotics. I thought i had some crazy cancer or something. I shouldnt have been working or driving as i was barely hilding on to reality. Felt like i was half alive and half dead. Finally, my fever spiked to 104.7 and i was hallucinating and talking all kinds of wild shit. Went to the ER, where they told me they wouldnt do blood work without a dr ordering them so i went next door to the clinic part, where my wife works and just helped myself into a room and passed out. They ran a shit ton of tests, pumped me full of IVs and got me on the right meds. Wild shit. Im 45 and ive had everything from chicken pox, covid, broken bones and surgeries, food poisoning, and every which type of flu. Nothing quite messed me up as that god damned tick.

Was that Grampa Walton who was the old timer that hunted "griz" in Jeremiah Johnson ? Either way great research and narration as always!

I live in Lethbridge, Alberta. Fort Whoop Up is located here however it was further up the river valley during those days. Fort Walsh, where Sitting Bull more or less crossed the border, is also quite close. Along with the area's own rich history it also has this sort of overflow from the American west. I'm sure it's one of the reasons Alberta's referred to as a sort of Texas of the north. Of course, it's meant to be derogatory, typically used by our eastern superiors to make sure we know they're better than we are. Not how I see it, though.

@@WildWestExtravaganza A lot of westerns have been shot around here. Unforgiven, Open Range, Hell On Wheels, The Revenant. Remember Texas Rangers with James Vanderbeek and Dylan McDermott? That one too. Earlier this year there was one in production based on a Joe R. Lansdale book with James Hetfield in a role. Looking forward to that one.

Hey Josh. Is the photo on the left?, the real Jeremiah? I have seen that photo often. & the photo on the right is from the movie? Looks a bit like Robert Redford. I have not seen the movie

What do you mean you haven't seen the movie????? Andy, you gotta watch Jeremiah Johnston! But yes, the guy on the left is Liver Eating Johnson, that's Redford on the right.

There’s absolutely NO truth to the rumor that Clammidity Jane worked as a professional sword swallower in Deadwood going by the name of Beaver Eatin’ Johnson. (Yes, I meant to say Clammidity Jane)
