About this ebook

The Dust Never Settles on a Legend clearly spells out the purpose of this book. The legend of Liver-Eating Johnston stretches and contracts. His biography is organic – it lives and breathes, as new revelations and information about “Liver-eat” Johnston emerges from long-buried chronicles of actual and imagined wilderness deeds. John H. Alexander wrote, “Storytellers seldom let facts get in the way of perpetuating a legend, although a few facts add seasoning and make the legend more believable, and alluring.” The title of this book, The Dust Never Settles on a Legend, was inspired by a desire to further flesh-out the heretofore hidden, undocumented, life of “Liver-Eating” Johnston, which many students of the enigmatic frontiersman heartily seek. This book was created as an update based on exhaustive research conducted by this author. It is designed to answer the many questions which both new and established students of Johnston’s life may have pondered since his legend was resurrected in the fictional movie, Jeremiah Johnson. Albeit not factual, the movie has stirred me to provide “facts,” or better yet to say, continue to set the record straight.
This author has previously published a biographical ebook about Johnston entitled Liver-Eating Johnson: The Truth Finally Revealed (Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo, etc.) which provides the reader a comprehensive study of the life of John Johnston. However, in The Dust Never Settles on a Legend, the reader will discover many previously-buried stories and facts heretofore unreported by Johnston researchers. Within the pages of this ebook, Liver-Eating Johnston is observed in his true character. This study of his incredible life includes a comprehensive array of minutia, often bordering on what the reader may perhaps consider near-inconsequential, but it nevertheless provides the interested reader with a large, in-depth dose, of the veiled life of Johnston.
The new data is often stark and disturbing. Conversely, the book also presents many fascinating, documented events in the life of Johnston which are often hilarious, bizarre, and perhaps hard to believe. The book may fuel a hearty laugh, or at least produce an incredulous shake of the head, as he or she attempts to digest the wide-range of newly uncovered exploits of the famous Montana pioneer.

Eleanor Roosevelt wrote "Autobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life." There are no mercies that have not been extended to me by God. This brief biographical text extends from the shadows of eternity past when Almighty God first gave thought to my existence. He placed me in my mother's arms on September 13 1946 in a sterile hospital room in the city of Elizabeth New Jersey. World War II had ended one year earlier, and I was entering an entirely new world in a country that was still free and prosperous. My school years were safe, tranquil and full of various adventures. I thought I was in love twice with girls named Dolly and Pat. But I moved on. College called and I answered its beckoning. I attended a small college in Kentucky, graduated after 5.5 years, and started my life in the field of education. I earned Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees. It has served me well. I was first published at the age of 14 when I published an article in Teamsters Union newsletter in 1960. I am twice-married, blessed now with a wonderful "soul-mate," if you will. Life is very sweet. I have five children and four grandchildren, all in New Jersey. I have published many articles in the area of Christianity; articles in the field of education; books and articles about the Old West; and three Christian related books, all of which can be accessed online. I spent my working life as a high school guidance counselor, and continue counseling now as a Christian Counselor in Vero Beach Florida. At 74 years of age, my mind is sound and vibrant. I plan to continue writing and publishing - Lord willing.
