Inspired film: Jeremiah Johnson, (1972) starring Robert Redford.
Crow Killer is the biography of mountain man Jeremiah Johnson, who in 1847 returned to his Rocky Mountain trapper’s cabin to find the remains of his murdered Indian wife and her unborn child. He vowed vengeance against an entire Indian tribe. Here, Raymond Thorp and his co-author tell of that one-man, decades-long war to avenge his beloved. Whether seen as a realistic glimpse of a long ago, fierce frontier world, or as a mythic retelling of the many tales spun around and by Johnson, Crow Killer is unforgettable.
