I’m curious - but also not so sure I want one of my favorite movies “ruined”. But I wonder how accurate the tale of “Jeremiah Johnson” was - Robert Redford as a Mountain Man. I’m guessing they took some liberties with how the Indian’s fought and tortured. (Like the bald guy buried in sand up to his neck out in the sun).

Torture was almost an art form among the Indians as was true of many primitive peoples. Use of green hides in which captives were sewn into and were then crushed slowly to death as the sun shrank the hides was but one type used.

Most of the movie Jeremiah Johnson is taken from the true story of Liver Eating Johnson.The real guy was a vicious SOB.
