The story is loosely based on the life of John Garrison who changed his name to Johnston, He married a Flat Heat Indian squaw. One day he left his pregnant wife alone to check his traps. When he got home he found his wife murdered by the Crow Indians. He started killing Crow Indians and started eating their livers. At one time he scouted for the Army and was sheriff in what is today Billings Montana.

The eating of the organs was viewed as a tribute to the person because whatever was eaten (usually the heart) would give you the strength and courage of the deceased. Usually you just ate a bite not the whole thing. If you read the history there is a twist to the story. After years of combat between Jeremiah and the natives the story makes the claim that the Crow came to him and said that they were being overwhelmed by the whites and losing their lands to them. Since he had the souls of so many warriors in him he owed them his help. It’s said that in his later years he lived with the Crow and helped them out. When the film was being made they were being realistic with the troubles he had. Robert really was wet and cold when trying to start the fire so he was very happy to get the fire. He didn’t know that they were going to drop the snow on him and put the fire out and when they did he almost started crying. The Flatheads were the result of Europeans not understanding the situation. A group of tribes wanted to have a more pointed head and so they would put a frame on the baby carrier to put a slope on the head. The Flatheads left the baby to grow so instead of a slight peak on their heads they had a pretty much flat head. The other tribes called them flatheads as a derogatory term but the Europeans thought that meant that they were deforming the heads and used it as another example of the ignorant ways of the savages. So the Flatheads got a bad rap for something that they weren’t doing.

Yes, you are correct about touched (in the head) meaning crazy, but not for what Jeremiah meant in this film. At times, the plains Indians would "touch coup" (pronounced coo), also called counting coup, instead of killing their enemy. If they were close enough to touch you, then they were close enough to kill you and it was considered just as important, showing bravery. It showed that the warrior, skilled enough to do the touching, was brave, giving him prestige among his tribe and perhaps, beyond. The crazy woman's family had already been attacked and they no longer considered her any kind of a threat. The tribe that killed her family kept coming back onto the property, leaving markers showing that they were always around and that it was their territory. Jeremiah understood all of this and tried to explain to her that they would no longer bother her, but she was too far gone to care. She simply gave up, then probably committed suicide, died of starvation or died of exposure to the elements because her entire family (besides the boy) had been wiped out.

A .50 caliber bullet is 1/2 in or 12.7mm. A 30 caliber would be 1/3 of an inch or 7.62mm in diameter. Caliber can also refer to the ratio of the shell diameter to barrel length. This is used a lot on naval guns. For example the standard US Navy gun in WWII was the 5” 38 Caliber which works out to a barrel length of 190 inches (127mm shell - 4.83 meter barrel) 5”x38. The USN also had a gun before the war started that was. 5” 25 Caliber gun which would work out to a 125” long barrel

Johnson was actually late to the game as far as being a mountain man. The first fur trappers followed in the footsteps of the Lewis and Clark expedition (1805). The heyday of the Mountain Men was during the exploration period between 1810-1850. They trapped furs because beaver fur hats were the fashion in Europe and the Eastern US. Liver-Eating Johnson was active at the very end of the Mountain Man period - - his wife was killed in 1847, and he continued living in the mountain country until his retirement during the Wild West years (1860-1900).

There are clues about what Jeremiah might have been aiming to forget. If you pay attention, in the beginning of the movie he is wearing breaches that are clearly US army issue. The film is set during/after the Mexican War, which was a pretty brutal affair.

He wanted to be on his own and experience an adventure, so he went up into the mountains.

Tools and other supplies were made by craftsmen or in factories; the deeper into the wilderness you were, the more difficult it became to acquire tools. The Mountain Men would meet up on regular occasions at events called *Rendezvous,* where they would trade their furs for tools, guns, and other supplies - - including liquor. It was fairly common for them to spend all their money on liquor and Indian prostitutes, and having to go back into the mountains again penniless.

We had some older Kentucky style .45s. I later got a Hawken .50cal that I liked a *ton* better than the .45s and generally liked overall, to be honest. It was a good rifle. The .45s with black powder were just a little light/weak/inaccurate with round ball. The .50 with a .45cal sabot works pretty well. I also used some maxiballs in the .50 Hawken. I shot some ball from the .50 Hawken, too, but ball is just light and not that accurate. Maxiballs and sabots from the Hawken .50 were pretty accurate, though... I could easily and consistently hit 20oz soda bottles at 80yds to 100yds with them. The round ball out of the .45cal Kentucky rifles was just not good... I wouldn't trust them over about 60yds or so. Later everybody got breechloaders like T/C and CVA. Those were practically modern rifles... very accurate to 200yds with .45cal sabots. My brother used a .45cal with I think .400cal cabots (10mm handgun bullets, basically, I guess) and he liked it well enough, but I still preferred .50cal with the .45cal sabots (250gr). All that said, .30cal would be *really* light in a black powder rifle. That Jerimiah bought a .30cal was just another point towards how Jerimiah didn't know what he was doing when he got started, just like all the other video where he was failing and making mistakes. It could have been a case where the .30cal was better than literally nothing, but a .30cal shooting round ball over black powder would have been right on the line of being too weak for medium game or larger.

Yes, perhaps, but not in this instance. Only we (the audience) and Jeremiah got to see her in the process of losing her mind. The tribe that had killed her family were no longer on the scene. They would not have yet realized that she went off the deep end because of their attack. So, what Jeremiah meant was that she had been "touched", or marked, and that the tribe no longer perceived her (or her family) as a threat. To those tribes, touching (or counting) coup was just as important as actually killing your enemy, as it demonstrated bravery in battle. Of course, none of that mattered to her, she was already gone and likely died from exposure or starvation because she no longer felt the will to live.

About half fought or exploited these nations and fought versus Americans, doing unspeakable things to civilians -- the Sioux tribes, Comanche, Kiowa, Apache, Arapaho (usually), and the Cheyenne (sometimes). "Jeremiah Johnson" was shot before political correctness and so it portrays American Indians as something other than "noble savages" who only wanted to live in peace with other Indians and Americans.

Dawn Marie, I forgot to mention that in the black powder rifle days, each rifle was sold with a bullet mold so that the owner of the rifle could make his or her own bullets. All that was needed was some lead, your gunpowder, your bullet mold, and a little fire to melt the lead. To answer your question about the difference between thirty and fifty caliber; a fifty caliber rifle fires a heavier bullet, which will hit the target harder even if it travels no faster than a smaller thirty caliber bullet. The larger bullet might actually go faster, but the principal difference is that fifty caliber bullets are bigger and heavier.

Member in the beginning of the movie where the guy tells him where to find beaver in for animals. That’s an outfitter you go there with a pocket full of money you buy what you need and pray don’t have to run back to get something else.

1 caliber equals 1". A .30 caliber is .30", a 50 is .50" or 1/2 inch. .30 caliber also equals 7.62mm.

Great movie. One of my favorites. John Johnston was also called Crow Killer in addition to Liver Eating Johnson. I believe he died in Canada as an old man. You might watch a movie called A Man Called Horse. It's a great film. On to the next one!

His gun was a 30 bore, the directors confused caliber with bore size, often called gage. A thirty bore as about 56 caliber

Jeremiah Johnson early time before he went into the mountains was that of a soldier. Though it is inferred early in the film that Jeremiah was once a soldier and experienced warfare, and so his motivation was to escape the world' violence and go to a place where he could have freedom to live a simpler life.

My family is always quoting this movie. Not many people know what we’re saying. I’ve told several people to “watch their top knot” but have never got a “watch yourn” back. I’ve also got an uncle that named his first born son , Caleb.

WOW - this movie takes me back to my back-to-nature, pseudo-mountain man period! Built my own .50 cal. Hawken (from a kit), pair of snowshoes (from raw), blanket coat (from scratch),, seasoned my own traps, etc. From the Indian point-of-view, you'll love the film LITTLE BIG MAN (1970), based on the Thomas Berger novel and starring Dustin Hoffman. It's a wild romp thru the old west as 120 year old Jack Crabb tells his story.

One of my favorites! Touched, sometimes Touched in the Head, basically means crazy. I agree with "Little Big Man" for a reaction. He was also known as Crow Killer Johnson. The Liver Eating name is because he was alleged to have eaten the livers of those he killed.

There were many different tribes of Native Americans, aka Indians, and each tribe had it's own name. Crows, Blackfeet, Flatheads, Apache, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Cherokee, Kiowa, Kickapoo, Shoshone, Chippewa, Hopi, Navajo, and about 1000 more. Each with it's own beliefs, languages, modes of dress and adornment. So, you could never know them all, but a Mountain Man would contact all the different tribes in his area, and would either make peace with them, or not. Jeremiah Johnson did a little of both.

The reason that he became a mountain man (fur trapper) is that he had been a soldier, and had PTSD from what he'd participated in. He went to the mountains to find a peaceful life - - he wasn't counting on the disputes with the Indian tribes who controlled the areas he wished to trap in.

I expect it was more than simply battle fatigue. He was most likely sick of all of the stupid and rough things that the "civilized" people continued to do, like fighting in wars for pay & territory, getting drunk and killing one another, breaking their backs farming clay soils in the heat & humidity, and so on. He went up into the mountains to disconnect from living like that.

Robert Redford was considered to be the most beautiful, handsome man of the 70s & 80s. I guess the sexiest man alive, before that became a thing. In fact when Brad Pitt came along he was called "the new Redford" by some magazines. Robert Redford is still working and was the (Hydra) Head of SHIELD in Avengers: End Game.

Caliber refers to the width of a bullet. A .50 caliber is half an inch, a .30 caliber is just under one third of an inch. There are 25.4 millimeters in an inch, so .50 caliber would be half of 25.4 or 12.7 millimeters, .30 caliber would be 7.62 millimeters. And I love this movie, one of the greats that is mostly overlooked by reactors.

“Touched” means touched in the head, or touched by the spirits….in other words crazy. Most Indian tribes had strong superstitions about crazy people and considered it very bad luck to hurt them. “Caliber” in a firearm is the diameter of the bullet measured in hundredths of an inch. .30 cal is 30/100s. .50 cal is 50/100s or a half inch etc.

My sister was a major RR around the time of this film's release, and it was her desire to view it in the theater; since then it's been a family favorite and we'd catch it w/ every TV broadcast. My Auntie Gloria was a film/TV actress, and appeared w/ RR in one of his earliest on-screen television roles where they both portrayed siblings (back then she was the better known of the two).

The easiest way to understand firearm calibers is very basic. The number of the caliber (30 or 50, etc.) is usually printed as .30 or .50. It designates the size of the projectile (bullet) in inches. So a 30 caliber is approximately 1/3 of an inch (7.62mm) and a 50 caliber is 1/2 of an inch (12.7mm). To get the mm from the inches, just multiply the caliber size by 25.4. I hope this helps you out.
