I don't know from L'Amour, but this sounds like a fictionalization of
the life of mountain man John Johnson (or John Johnston) 1824-1900,
known as "Liver Eater" or "Liver Eating" Johnston for this reason--
though this webpage claims it's a bum rap:

For what it's worth...

I have read all of L'Amour's books, and I can guarantee you that this
is not a scene from one of his books.

I'll second Sharon's statement. L'Amour didn't have his heroes act this
way. They'd beat up, shoot, stab, etc. while fighting for what they
believed was right, but they didn't pull a Hannibal.

Added info to what's been said (or probably will be said):
Crow Killer; the Saga of Liver Eatin' Johnson by Raymond Thorp
(c1896?) is the "true?" story of John Johnston (there is a
discrepancy about the last name). It was the basis for the movie
Jeremiah Johnson. BYE!

The swine of gluttony has piglets with these names. Too
Early is the name of the first, the next Too Fastidiously,
the third, Too Freely; the fourth is called Too Much, the
fifth Too Often.
I talk about them only briefly, because I have no fear that
you feed them. The Anchoress' Rule (c.1220)

I think that this book is "Mountain Man" by Vardis Fisher. It is not a
gentle or
clean Western.
