Summary

The true story (on which the film Jeremiah Johnson was partially based) of John Johnson, who in 1847 found his wife and her unborn child had been killed by Crow braves. Out of this tragedy came one of the most gripping feuds - one man against a whole tribe - in American history.

Jaw Dropping

I had read the story of liver eating Johnson already and enjoyed hearing it read to me. Don Coltrane does the accents of the characters very well. If you saw the movie Jeremiah Johnson you have only experienced a milquetoast version of the amazing and shocking story of a man whose adventures make the antics of the wild westerners who came long after this mountain man pale by comparison.
A truly astonishing experience never to be forgotten and not for the politically correct woke weaklings of today.
