A True Western Hero, Johnny France, Portrait Painted by Todd Connor
Loading...
Uploaded by clayguy1 on Oct 29, 2011
Johnny France is probably the most well known person in our area. He speaks haltingly, but it's because he was nearly killed, when a horse kicked him in the head. He's very lucky to even be alive today.
He's had two TV made movies, and a segment on A&E's Channel's Fugitive Chronicles, titled "Nichols", made about an incident that happened years ago when he was sheriff of Madison County. Recently the Robert Redford movie, "Buck" feature Johnny in it. Buck, the main character, said he owed his life to Johnny France. When you click the link to A&E's website, below the video viewer you'll see a selection of shows. Click on the on called "Nichols".

Guys like Johnny are culture heroes of the West, and there are fewer and fewer of them every year. Character like that...you just can't teach it, it's natural. Special footage, thanks SO MUCH for posting this!

What an interesting experience, David! Thanks for the opportunity to "meet" Johnny France. I'm anxious to explore his career further.

@jnvyoral He's very cool.. When I first moved into the valley in the late 80s, Johnny was a river guide, and he took me and my three kids on a tripe down the Bear Trap fishing... He charged Hundreds of Dollars to do that and he did it for nothing... He's been my hero for years.
