Bender and a glossary of Indian tribes..
This new edition, redesigned for the first time, features an introduction by western frontier expert Nathan E.
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.

He vowed vengeance against an entire Indian tribe.
As the story goes, one morning in 1847 Johnson returned to his Rocky Mountain trapper's cabin to find the remains of his murdered Indian wife and her unborn child.
Standing 6'2" in his stocking feet and weighing nearly 250 pounds, he was a mountain man among mountain men, one of the toughest customers on the western frontier.
The real Johnson was a far cry from the Redford version.
