Jeremiah Johnson Movie question

[davemcg]

See, if he was a Gander Mountain Man, he could have mail ordered that stuff. :surrender:

And Mad Jack could have delivered it himself on ol' #7

Oh wait...I got mixed up, we're talking about liver eatin' Johnston, not flapjack eatin' Adams :redface: sorry.

Anyway Pichou, that "Gander Mountain Man" line always busts me up :rotf:
So thank you :hatsoff:

In Canada they are called Hommes de Tandy. Not to be confused with Coors de Boise. :haha:

I wonder if Johnson had onions...

-----I doubt it--in the movie he had an adopted son-----

 

[pichou]

Onions. Liver and onions. Get it? :haha:

-----HA HA HA GOTCHA-----

"Jeramiah Johnson" has to be the most influential movie of all times. How muzzleloading/blackpowder and re-enactment/rendezvous particaption exploded after this movie was released. Can anyone who is a buckskinner not have a copy of this movie? :bow:

 

[John Wasmuth]

Gotta agree with that.

When the paperback edition of "Crow Killer" came out in the early 70's, I bought a copy. My Dad read it and loved it. The only movie he ever insisted on going to was that one! He was VERY disappointed when he didn't eat the livers!

I believe too that the book states that John "Liver Eatin" Johnston went to Robideaux's store and had to accept a .30 Hawken as that was all that was available. The Movie line had to have come from that.

Johnston went west long after the Rondevous Period. One of my favorite lines from the book was when he climbed a tree after stabbing a Bear. Partner says "Good idee leaving the knife in, makes it bleed more!" Johnston says "I didn't have time ter pull it out!".

Always liked "The Mountain Men" Best though! The trailer has a scene with Heston eating a raw egg after he missed at the '77 Western. He slipped a bullet in his mouth on the way to get it and spit it out after sucking the egg. Said "I knew I hit that egg!".

Qualen I believe, and he was an early user of smokeless powder, too. When Johnson startles him in the cabin and he fires his gun, it produces no smoke. Musta had one of thosr Savage in-line things... :rotf:

Mountain Man by Vardis Fisher is an excellent read.
