Hello,
I have the book called "Mountain Man" by Vardis Fisher. It was the inspiration for the movie "Jeremiah Johnson". It's main character's name was Sam. From "To the Reader" at the book's beginning: "...Readers familiar with the history of the American West will be aware that Sam and Kate are drawn in some degree from John Johnston, the "Crow-killer" and Jane Morgan, whose family was slaughtered on the Musselshell. Though these two persons actually lived they are today almost completely lost in legends." It's a great book. Hope this helps!
Cindy
