Jeremiah Johnson, a legendary film directed by Sydney Pollack in 1972 with Robert Redford, was directly inspired by a man who really existed. Here is his story...
This was the first "Dad movie" my dad made me watch with him. Absolutely loved it and changed my world view. I'm 42 now and still grateful for, and really miss my dad.
I did some research a while back and found out that, low and behold, I'm a direct descendant of John Jeremiah Garrison. It makes sense why this was my dad's all-time favorite movie when it came out. The movie literally inspired him to make the move to Montana in 1975/76 where he lived until his passing in 2005. I remember asking him as a young boy when I would go out to visit him why he was so drawn to the West and particularly Montana. He never quite understood himself why. After he passed I decided to research our family tree and finally understood his connection to Montana. I only wish that I could have given him the news before he died. But perhaps he already knows. RIP Dad and John Jeremiah. Hopefully you're together up in the heavenly wilderness. ❤️
I was 16 and a sophomore in high school in 1972. Just got my drivers license. One of my first dates was this movie. Damn what great memories. It was a more tender time in those days. “You’ve done well pilgrim to keep your hair when so many are after it”
@LynnScadden1462,. Other mountain man movies, "Man In The Wilderness" with Richard Harris, good movie, and "Revenant" leo dicrappio. Both movies are about the true story of Hugh Glass who was attacked by a grizzly, then left to die by two people, then without food, gun, very little clothes make his way about 300 miles to confront those who left him. I believe this could have been told much better, and would like to see a more factual version. Man in the wilderness is the better one. The Life And Times Of Grizzly Adams can be found on DVD, both seasons. Found mine in Walmart. Can probably be ordered through them. "Sacred Ground" with Jack Elam, hard to find. A mountain man has an Indian wife that is killed because he built cabin on sacred Indian ground. "Mountain Men" with Charlton Heston and Brian Keith. Excellent mountain man story. Hope this helps your enjoyment of the mountain man lifestyle. For me it is one the most fascinating periods in history because they had to have most everything with them to survive. All the best and may God bless.
For sure, one of a kind unlike the re-make of Rooster Cogburn, I am a fan of Jeff Bridges but I still have to ask, why? If they ever re-make 'The Outlaw Josey Wales', there's going to be trouble! (fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch!)
While on vacation in Cody, I stopped by an outdoor museum there and discovered the small cemetery where Jeremiah Johnson was re-burried. It is nice to watch a video that is historicaly accurate. Thank you.
@@CooperFilmProduction Two for two. Yesterday I also found out Josey Wales was also real though less dramatic and less noble. J.J in a way more noble. He reconciled with the crow, who did, unlike with J.W, actually kill his family. Where I’m from, 80 percent plus of Ist nation people are Plains Cree. Blackfoot- start, and Blood are arround I’d say, 200 miles south.😀
Not really. Hugh Glass is the real American mountain man. Doggedly tenacious! Bob Redford, like most Tinseltown males, is a pampered pussy who couldn't light a fire to save his @$$, much less build a log cabin from scratch. There are those, however, who truly are outdoorsmen. Redford ain't one and he should never portray one on film. Sam Elliott is one and so was Ben Johnson.
Saw the movie when I was 14 years old ,hunting and trapping and wanted be just like that living in wilderness. Well still an outdoors man at 65 yrs and loving it
I grew up in Montana ,we had land near Red Lodge Mt. On that property was Liver eating Johnson's last cabin I have pictures of it ,this was 1960. Not much was left and you couldn't safely enter at the time.
Well, that is another travel destination on the bucket list for a motorcycle trip. Watched this in a theater in Rheinlander WI. at 14 years old on a fishing trip. Never knew this was a real person.
@@evankline-ew2rg correct. Alaska here. I have 5 sons, and ALL are capable of that level of survival. High school here has a boat & teaches navigation by the stars. Jr high takes the kids out to some remote island for 3 days - survival trip. & They do NOT tell you where, so you cannot take your boat out there to stash food for them. Mine? Commercial divers & commercial fishermen. Welders & General contractors. More. All 5 are multi skilled & hard working. Their lives will be ok, as they started when they were 12. Nowadays? Good luck, lazy entitled dumbasses
Very well done video. I remember seeing this movie for the first time in the 70's and being amazed at the quality of both the acting and the cinematography. I watched it recently with my nieces and they said basically the same thing. It's truly a movie that stands the test of time. Plus, now I know the backstory as well which I'll pass along to the family. Thank you and take care.
A very important story worth telling! I love the movie and I have a copy of it on my computer, not to mention an old VHS tape, a DVDand now a blueray, lol . My late uncle took me to see it when it came out, even thought I was under age, my uncle had connections at the movie theatre, lol. I never get tired of watching this classic. Thank you for sharing this, I never really knew the whole story, it was worth the wait. 🙏RIP Mr. & Mrs. Johnson.🙏
I read this book a few months ago. Fascinating story of how mountain men lived back in the day. Totally different from what we know today. Highly recommended for those interested.
Johnson was also know as Dapiek Absaroka, The Killer of Crows. After he made his piece with the Absaroka Crows, he was asked to accompany them to fight against the Sioux which he did. As a special insult to the Sioux he removed the liver from a Sioux leader that was still very much alive at the time. He took a bite out of it and then spat it out. He told the warrior it wasn't fit to eat. His favourite weapon in hand to hand combat was his feet. He liked to kick his opponents in the head to break their necks but didn't do it too often as it hurt his feet. That went on until he started to wear two sets of moccasins that protected his toes much like boxing gloves shields a boxers hand. After that discovery he used his feet frequently to dispatch his enemies. Johnson once murdered 26 Blackfoot warriors by enticing them in and then leaving fresh baked biscuits out for them to find that were laced with strychnine. The movie portrays him as a quiet hero type but the reality is he was a stone cold killer, perhaps a psychopath.
Best movie ever! Great little piece of history and I had no idea that Robert Redford was a pallbearer when they re-buried him in Wyoming! Great video, keep up the great work!
That and Rooster Cogburn in true grit, of course then there's 'The Outlaw Josie Wales', they re-made 'True Grit;' why?, don't mess with perfection, if I was to re-do it, I would at least bring something new? Tell you what though, nobody needs to mess with the 'geandre refining' works of art, it's only people who actually have nothing left and nothing to say that will pin a banana on a wall? are you kidding me? , that's art? Hell. I'll nail a potato to a plank and send it to you for $1 million (we can negotiate?)
Saw the movie when it came out in the theaters in 72. Still watch it every other year to this day. Changed my life as a kid. This is cool mini documentary on the real story. Very cool they moved his remains to Wyoming and Redford was a participant in that.. 300 dead crows ? Dude was pissed. Liver pissed. Grizzz...
@@CooperFilmProduction There are two ways to respond to deep pain; anger or depression. When I was deeply hurt I went to Outward Bound winter survival school, I think much due to JJ, and I healed, completely. This is an outstanding mini documentary; thank you. I look forward to your treatise on Jack London.
My grandma was a tough-as-nails Ozarks hillbilly. I only wish I could remember what drivel I was complaining about 40 years ago, when she snapped at me, "You don't even know you're ALIVE!!". I didn't even figure out what she meant for another 10 years!
@geesutton1399,. Absolutely correct. You couldn't go to a store to get what you needed. My dad said if a mountain man had a bad year trapping and didn't have furs to trade to resupply for winter. He would dig cattail roots all summer and dry them out. Then pound them into flour to make bread or biscuits during the winter. Hopefully, he could get game for meat.
For all - yes, Jeremiah Johnson the movie was based on a true story. The book that lays out the story is called “Crow Killer - The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson”, by Raymond W. Thorp and Robert Bunker. I thought he was still buried in The VA cemetery of Sepulveda Blvd, but glad to hear he made it back to the wilderness. I first read the book in the 70s and still have a copy. I surmise it is still available on Amazon. B. H. Spratlin
'The way that you wonder is the way that you choose and the day that tarry is the day that you lose, through sunshine or thunder you'll always wonder where fairer winds blow'
Yup quite the film that was! We were in our teens when JJ came out we probably watched it 5 - 6 times in the theater over the next 12 months, we memorized every line and used them constantly during our daily fun especially when out rabbit hunting on the weekends Lol we thought we were mountain men ...the good ol days! ...That'll Be Far Enough Pilgrim!!
According to the book "Crow Killer," the Crazy Woman was a real person who had settled in the Wolf Tail Valley. After her children were killed and her husband taken captive, she remained in her cabin. Liver Eatin' Johnson, Del Gue and Anton Sepulveda were among the mountain men who "avenged" her. One popular story was that the mountain man known as "Hatchet Jack" was actually her husband who had gone insane after being scalped and tortured by the Blackfoot Indians when they took him away. It was known that Hatchet Jack had been scalped at some point in his life and that he was mentally unbalanced. Johnson refers to this when he tells the Crazy Woman that he cannot find any sign of her husband, but that he might return if he escaped from the Indians.
the movie that had me buying my first Muzzleloader! The first shot of which, bent me in half, not knowing what I was in for! awesome man, awesome story!
One of my role models.im off-grid wild and free .I can't imagine a life of greed , hate and deception.its not the natural order of things.my kids are the smartest and healthiest in school.no tv no radio.nature is my entertainment
Wow! Thx so much for providing this info; very helpful and informative to help set the story straight. Jeremiah Johnson was my brother-in-law and still is my favorite movie.
What a great movie. The bear scene is comedy gold. Still stands up today in my mind as a great all around story and movie. The acting and directing were way ahead of their time.
Murderers in a race to kill the most damage? Cannibals? My vision of the "real Americans" is more settled on farmers, traders & community builders, soldiers, all networking across the land to build homes, families & fortunes. Not a serial killer! I loved the movie, too, as a tragic story, but I definitely don't want to live in a neighborhood of these guys! Goodbye, & God bless to them!
I just returned home from Redlodge Montana to Texas! I have been debating on selling my home here and moving near there, it is a Beautiful place to to be and the Beartooth Pass is an Amazing sight to see!
OHHHH, the memories of watching this movie with my dad… “A WOMANS BREAST IS THE HARDEST ROCK THE GOOD LORD EVER PUT ON THIS EARTH” Will Geer Absolutely a beautiful time in cinema! Just like “Sometimes a Great Notion” Paul Newman Henry Fonda…the big Logging cooperations uprooting the traditional northwest families who logged for generations
I SAW THE MOVIE JEREMIAH JOHNSON WITH ROBERT REDFORD IT IS A GREAT MOVIE WHAT I SAW ! I DON'T KNOW IF IT GAVE HIS STORY JUSTICE ! OR NOT ! I LOVED THE MOVIE ! HE WENT THROUGH A LOT IN HIS LIFE THE MOVIE MADE TO RESPECT THE CARETARE HE PLAYED ! GREAT MOVIE ! ❤️🙂
That story is absolutely excellent. I’ve read it numerous times! You can get a copy of it from thrift books for four dollars and I might add that the movie that Robert Redford made is sickening! Once you read that story and see some of the history, which one of his cabins is located in Trail town in Cody, Wyoming, and find out other things about him. It’s really great! It’s history! I didn’t know that the crazy mountains in Montana or from his time and were named by people of that time because of what happened there
This was the first "Dad movie" my dad made me watch with him. Absolutely loved it and changed my world view. I'm 42 now and still grateful for, and really miss my dad.

What a great movie. The bear scene is comedy gold. Still stands up today in my mind as a great all around story and movie. The acting and directing were way ahead of their time.

Just love the movie 👌💯👍

Such an amazing person! Damn!🎉❤
Bad ASS that's for sure
This is the real Americans, what a loss, none here today.

Murderers in a race to kill the most damage? Cannibals? My vision of the "real Americans" is more settled on farmers, traders & community builders, soldiers, all networking across the land to build homes, families & fortunes. Not a serial killer! I loved the movie, too, as a tragic story, but I definitely don't want to live in a neighborhood of these guys! Goodbye, & God bless to them!

@@hensonlaura The real world and the Universe, is like this, we live in an artificial country, so pray no aliens come to visit us.
I just returned home from Redlodge Montana to Texas! I have been debating on selling my home here and moving near there, it is a Beautiful place to to be and the Beartooth Pass is an Amazing sight to see!

Sell, sell, sell.
OHHHH, the memories of watching this movie with my dad… “A WOMANS BREAST IS THE HARDEST ROCK THE GOOD LORD EVER PUT ON THIS EARTH” Will Geer
Absolutely a beautiful time in cinema! Just like “Sometimes a Great Notion” Paul Newman Henry Fonda…the big Logging cooperations uprooting the traditional northwest families who logged for generations

With pleasure and thank you for following me...
That story is absolutely excellent. I’ve read it numerous times! You can get a copy of it from thrift books for four dollars and I might add that the movie that Robert Redford made is sickening! Once you read that story and see some of the history, which one of his cabins is located in Trail town in Cody, Wyoming, and find out other things about him. It’s really great! It’s history! I didn’t know that the crazy mountains in Montana or from his time and were named by people of that time because of what happened there
My uncle Jim was a ghost writer for the book. Lived in Utah. Kinda cool.
For Vardis Fisher?
@karrentrimp4145 not sure on that
