If you think the film Jeremiah Johnson was slightly on the dark side, Crow Killer will definitely seem nearly pitch black. Unvarnished, unsanitized, true to the times he lived political correctness is nowhere to be seen. Johnston held a strange dichotomy of simultaneously regarding native Americans as subhuman "red coons" and at the same time respecting individual bands/tribes and their leaders. Eye witness accounts and annotations are meticulously noted.
