He Ate Indian Livers Raw: The Crow-Killer - Liver Eating Johnston, Legend And Truth, Montana, 1870

[@danielbridgewater3444]

Actual history is very shocking. When I listen to some of the horrific things people have endured I feel ashamed about the insignificant "hardships" that I cry about sometimes. Learning about real history can put things into perspective real fast

[@sihilius]

Pronoun cry babies should listen to this stuff! They should be forced to listen to it all day, until they are cured of their obsession!

[@DJShaferScott]

Absolutely, presicley why I listen to it. Ain't no complaining round here

[@JoshSmith-ff8dw]

History from this period sobers you up fast

[@markmark2080]

Read the book back in the early '70s, remember on vacation going out of my way to visit Red Lodge because of him, went over Beartooth Pass into Yellowstone as a result, one of America's great roads, those were good years...

Great story! Thank you

[@MichealMcIntyre-uq5hh]

Really enjoyed this one. Thank you for sharing! Nice to hear the truth.

[@candyphillips2642]

I live in Montana. Those days were savage

[@cdcdogs4961]

👏🏼😁 I really enjoyed this story, especially because my great grandfather was raised by Flathead Chief Moise. He spent most of is life near Philipsburg on his homestead. He made is living as a farm hand, but mostly as a prospector, he was later appointed as a government trapper in his district. I am a Silversmith (hobby), and have enjoyed making jewelry out of his sapphires that were passed down to me.

[@worldbigfootcentral3933]

I live on the other side of the Sapphire mountains. Beautiful and mysterious area in these parts.

[@cdcdogs4961]

@@Re0n51iine Thank you. 🙏🏼 Silversmithing is not hard once you learn the order of things. IMO, it requires imagination, patience, you definitely can’t be in a hurry if you desire quality. Im personally inspired by nature and vintage native art. If your interested, I’ve seen some pretty good tutorials here on YT. ✌🏼😎❤️

I love the movie Jeremiah Johnson

[@bruscifer]

I saw it at the theatre when it first came out. Fell in love with it, and I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen it since. Had it in VHS, Beta, CD, and now in the cloud. I guess you could say it's my favorite movie of all time.

As always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s John liver eating, his real name Johnson born John Jeremiah garrison ( 1824- 1900 ) he was mountain man of American old west . Rumors and legends about Johnson are common. His wife was member of late head American Indian tribe , was killed by young crow brave and his fellow hunter , which supposedly killed and scalped more than 300 crow Indians and then devoured their liver to revenge death of his wife and his reputation and collection of scalps grew , Johnson became object of fear . Say that he would cut out and eat liver of each crow killed , this led to his being known as ( liver eating ) Johnson one tale as cribbed to Johnson. Story goes as book you mentioned sir one morning in 1847 Johnson returned to his Rocky Mountain trapper cabin to find remains of his murdered Indian wife and her unborn child . He vowed vengeance against entire Indian tribe . Liver eating Johnson his body buried in Los Angeles veterans cemetery. In 1974 after six months campaign led by seventh grade students and their teacher Johnson remains were related to Wyoming, his epitaph reads ( no more trail ) . Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information.

Get this man a statue! Savage beget savage. Hard times create hard men, hard men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times and so history repeats itself, over and over and over and here we are among the weakest of men.

[@Nomorewarsforisrael]

I watch a lot of police interrogations and very often when a suspect goes into great detail to deny something they’re guilty. I find his story of “accidentally” removing an Indians liver and then only “pretending” to eat it highly suspect. I think it’s very possible he did eat the livers of his enemies and I’m not judging him for it with my very comfortable twenty first century hindsight.

[@TheMuseForge]

I just watched the film Jeremiah Johnson, starring Robert Redford, last weekend for the first time and now I get to hear the true story! What a movie by the way.

[@johnbuterbaughsr.933]

Great movie . So many sudden moments of brutality and beauty .

[@murraypooley9199]

I note as a man who ate huge quantites of buffalow meat Johnstone was very strong. Then when he aged, he was growing and consuming vegitables and became feble and weak. As a 69 year old who went from high veg and weak, to a carnivour who keeps getting stronger, this makes sence to me.

[@dennisgray2559]

Do you still eat large amount of meat ? What age are you now .

[@murraypooley9199]

@@dennisgray2559 almost 70 and eating only beef, bacon, & eggs, some mackerel, drink just water plus small amount of full fat milk. This keeps me very fit, healthy and growing stronger. Animal protein & fat, near zero sugars, no fruit, veg or fiber.

[@StayHydrated-wd5ic]

Why nothing else? Can’t judge, just want an answer for fruits and vegetables. I can see if it ain’t truly organic

[@murraypooley9199]

@@StayHydrated-wd5ic I went from keto to carnivore lifestyle 2 years ago. Not eaten any fruit, veg or junk food since. health, fitness and strength has gone through the roof. Suggestion :- If you are not familiar with the carnivore lifestyle suggest check out Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Anthony Baker and others on KZbin.

[@nancylowe2692]

I was just watching a video on it, so I don't know how reliable the info is. Nutritionist that specializes in the gut microbiome said that it's wise to go off of keto or paleo diets occasionally & eat some organic fruits & vegetables that aren't washed too thoroughly (as long as the soil they are grown in is healthy soil without herbicides &pesticides). Just eating meat & eggs & fish, etc reduces the good bacteria in the intestines over time. Those bacteria, oddly enough have a lot to do with making the "feel good" neurotransmitters in your brain like serotonin & dopamine. Raw, unfiltered milk has the good bacteria too, but no fiber, which the good bacteria feed on in the gut. Made sense to me.❤❤❤

[@kabuti2839]

I bet his life was much more interesting than the book versions. Those were very 'popular' 'biographies' of famous people with immense 'free rein' as far as embellishments to boost sales. No, I'm certain he did not eat the livers of his vanquished adversaries. Some of those anecdotes are surely based on some eyewitness events, nonetheless. Very fascinating era fer shure! Thanks!

[@longshotkdb]

Also, (and please excuse all the comments) he absolutely was eating livers ... With that appetite? lol wild man. I suppose we'll never know.

[@timeenoughforart]

The movie was based on a book of fiction by Vardis Fisher called "Mountain Man".

[@Egr-et6ar]

By the 16th century, cnnibalism was not just part of the mental furniture of Eropeans; it was a common part of everyday medicine from Spain to England. Two new books claim that Eropeans saw no issue with cnnibalism right into the 19th and 20th century. Richard Sugg, who published a book in 2011 called Mummies, Cnnibals and Vampires: The History of Corpse Medicine from the Renaissance to the Victorians. Louise Noble, who also wrote a book on the topic called Medicinal Cnnibalism in Early Modern English Literature and Culture.
