According to the book “Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson” (by Raymond W. Thorp Jr. & Robert Bunker), the real Jeremiah Johnson (or Johnston) was an army deserter-turned-mountain-man who hated most Indians in general so much he once killed dozens by leaving a pan of strychnine-laced biscuits he knew they would find. When the War Between the States broke out, he came back east and enlisted in the Union army, but they discharged him because he had the unsettling habit of killing their Cherokee allies. The Indians called him “the liver-eater” because after the Crow murdered his wife, her unborn child, and their adopted son, he took to disemboweling the Crow braves he killed and chowing down on their livers. Yum! And instead of fading into oblivion in the mountains, as in the movie, the real Johnson died in a veteran’s home in Santa Monica. http://bit.ly/1T2DZfm

Not exactly the humanitarian soul Redford sought to convert him into.
