Now here is another colorful character of the Old Wild West.
John Johnson (AKA John Garrison, AKA John Johnston) gained his nickname by eating the liver of each man he killed.
The movie Jeremiah Johnson (with Robert Redford) is supposedly based on the life of Liver Eating Johnson, but for some reason they omitted the liver eating from the movie.
Heh. Go figure.
When the remains of Liver Eating Johnson were reburied, Robert Redford was reported to have been one of the pallbearers.
