Matt, you would also be intersted in "Colters Run", another great book about John Colter. Available at Stoney Dale press.

Thanks for the info.

John Colter was one tough hombre. Of course all of those guys were or they wouldn't have been out here in 1803-1870 or so.

I too love that movie Jeremiah Johnson! One of the best ever! You guys are awful, now I have a couple books I have to go buy to read... I'm one of those that if a book is really good, I won't be able to put it down and I'll be up at 2:30 AM still reading like someone else did her as well!

I named my son after Jeremiah Johnson and his name was Jeremiah David (for the middle name after me). It pleased both me and my wife. She looked at it with a biblical perspective of Jeremiah from scripture while I was pure mountain man on my side!
