RE: Jerimiah Johnson

[still.trucking]

The Indians (who gauge their reputation by the strength of their enemies) grow to view Jeremiah as the ultimate challenge, creating many violent encounters.

[constantine]

so it was a token of their esteem that they ambushed him at all hours. with friends like that...

Who said they were friends?
"Friends come and go but enemies accumulate."---Daffy Duck

Bear Claw said he was lucky they were not Apache. The apache would have come on him in mass. Jerimiah was a hell of a man. If you are going to have an enemy you can't do better then The Crow.

I love my enemies.

You ever get lonesome?

Jeremiah Johnson: Y'ever get lonesome?

Bear Claw : Fer what?

Jeremiah Johnson: Woman?

Bear Claw:
Full time night woman? I never could find no tracks on a woman's heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads. I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it.
