Liver-Eating Johnston: The Dust Never Settles on a Legend

Product Description

"The Dust Never Settles on a Legend," brings to the reader incredible new research findings about the life of John "Liver-Eating" Johnston. This book takes a giant leap in understanding the experiences, character, personality and motivations of the enigmatic frontiersman. It provides the reader, who is doubtless a student of the life of Liver-Eating Johnston, an enhanced update in the biography of Johnston. The life of Liver-Eating Johnston was complex and often difficult to reconcile when one reads about the barbarity and cruelty he exhibited to his foe, and often, to strangers alike. This book is a studied follow up to the this author's first biography about Johnston, which is entitled "The Avenging Fury of the Plains." The reader will be able to fill in the gaps of Johnston's life that were previously hidden in the folds of history. For example, Johnston began his Indian fighting and scouting in the early to mid 1850's, when he served as scout to various U.S. Army units in northern California and Southern Oregon. Historians have previously believed that Johnston began to fight the Sioux and Blackfeet after he returned from military service in the Civil War. We now know that soon after he deserted from the U.S. Navy during the Mexican-American War, he immersed himself in mining and scouting. The book will provide many fascinating, documented stories about Johnston that will greatly serve to facilitate a deeper understanding of Johnston's life in the wilderness.
