Jeremiah Johnson

Jeremiah Johnson
[DVD Jeremiah]

An American soldier goes west to escape war and becomes a mountain man. He is taken in by an old trapper who teaches him how to survive off the land. After treading an Indian burial ground, he suffers strange misfortune: love and lives lost as well as a grudge between him and the Crow Indian tribe. Beautiful scenery and a great role portrayed by Robert Redford. Not the action-packed "cowboys and indians" Western you'd expect, rather slow moving. [If you like this, you may also enjoy Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Gunsmoke, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, and Dances with Wolves.] -- recommended by Jeremiah J. - Bennett Martin Public Library

[Also available in audiotape, book-on-cd [abridged or unabridged], and Large Print formats.]
