This story, about Mountain Man John Jeremiah “Liver-Eating’ Johnson, is one such story of brutal revenge. In 1972, Robert Redford, who sadly passed away last week, on September 16, played the role of Johnson in the film, Jeremiah Johnson about the famous mountain man. The announcement of the death of “Liver-eating” Johnson, of the Yellowstone, caused the St. Louis Globe boy to interview Gen. Sturgis, whose guide he was during the pursuit of Joseph. Today, (1923) there are still living the state hundreds of pioneers who knew Liver-eating Johnson well. Liver-Eating Johnson died in 1900 in a veteran’s home in California, where he was buried.
