Liver Eating Johnson was a mountain man/fur trapper. His Native American wife, a member of the Flathead Tribe was killed by warriors of the Crow Nation. Johnson went on a vendetta against the Crows, and supposedly killed and ate the livers of 300 members of the Crow tribe. Anyone interested in finding out more on this subject can check out these links. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver-Eating_Johnson Or this one, https://www.damninteresting.com/liver-eating-johnson/
During the 1880's Johnson was the first town constable of Red Lodge, Montana, and here are a couple of pictures of his house in Red Lodge. Some accounts say he never ate the livers, he just faked it, but his reputation served him well as a cop. He was dealing with tough coal miners, and I guess they did what he asked, fearing the consequences if they didn't.

Red lodge assignment came after visiting Leadville and meeting
Griener (sp.?) and seeing how he handled things.
In a book....the youth and behaving citizens thought well enough of Johnston.
Quite a powerful character though.
One non Crow liver, alleged to have served a different purpose in avenging /remembering Pete in Canada.......Dell Gue supposed to have seen the results, but that must have been after Johnston returned..
