    What happened to Jeremiah Johnson's Native American wife?

    Question #95439. Asked by dj168. (May 07 08 9:55 PM)


    Squisher

    		In the 1972 movie, she (Swan) was slaughtered by Crow Indians in retaliation to Jeremiah Johnson's trespassing on sacred Crow ground.

    		Same thing happened in the book, and he cached her bones and those of their unborn child in a container.

    Sorry, I read it about 30 years ago and have no reference.

    I did happen to tell some students about "Liver-Eating' Johns[t]on" just last week, though.

    		In support of Squisher's post -- Johnson (one of many names) was pressured into guiding a cavalry company through Crow burial ground -- Against his better judgement, he relented and as a result, Crow braves extracted their brand of punishment -- Johnson finds Swan, unborn child and Caleb murdered upon his return.
