John “Liver-Eating” Johnson, the legendary mountain man who waged a 1 year-long war against the Crow Nation, photographed in 1877. He allegedly killed 300+ warriors in revenge for his murdered wife and was later played by Robert Redford in ‘Jeremiah Johnson’ (1972).[1333×2000]

Sounds like a serial killer with a thinly veiled pretext
It sounds like, along with a lot of tales from the western frontier, his exploits were heavily mythologized.

Well it could be worse, he could be John “Johnson-Eating “Johnson, ….
The story of Johnson’s one man war against the Crow is hogwash. It (and alot of the other more sensational tales about the man) can be traced back to a single source, *Crow Killer* (1958); which today is considered to be far more fantastical fiction than actual fact.
