Former Cowboy Craig Johnson talks Longmire

 From the beginning, Longmire didn't fit the mold of what most people might envision as a sheriff in a rural, Western county. He was very well-read, he played jazz and classical piano, and he took a job in law enforcement after working as a Marine Corps investigator during his tour of duty in Vietnam. His best friend is Henry Standing Bear, who hails from the Cheyenne Nation, just across the border in Montana.
