1917. In 1877 Schultz went to Montana for the summer to buffalo
hunt. He ended up staying and became fascinated with the Indian
life and joined the Blackfeet tribe. He learned to speak the
Blackfeet language and married a Pikuni (Blackfeet) woman. He
became a recorder of the open West romance and writer of stories of
the at-large Indians. Often men like Schultz were characterized as
hangers-on or romantic reporters, their lives and work show a more
dedicated purpose-to know and record the last of the Indian culture
in its native landscape even as the culture was subsumed by white
settlement, changed by forced moves to reservations, or even
outlawed.

WHEN in the seventies I turned my back on civilization and joined
the trappers and traders of the North west, Thomas Fox became my
friend. We were together in the Indian camps and trading posts
often for months at a time; he loved to recount his adventures in
still earlier days, and thus it was that I learned the facts of his
life. The stories that he told by the even ing camp-fire and before
the comfortable fireplaces of our various posts, on long winter
days, were impressed upon my memory, but to make sure of them I
frequently took notes of the more important points. As time passed,
I realized more and more how unusual and interesting his adventures
were, and I urged him to write an account of them. He began with
enthusiasm, but soon tired of the unaccustomed work. Later, how
ever, after the buffalo had been exterminated and we were settled
on a cattle-ranch, where the life was of a deadly monotony compared
with that which we had led, I induced him to take up the narrative
once more. Some parts of it he wrote with infinite detail; other
parts consisted only of dates and a few sentences. He was destined
never to finish the task. An old bullet wound in his lung had
always kept him in poor health, and when, in the winter of 1885, he
contracted pneumonia, the end was quick. His last request was that
I would put his notes in shape for publication. This I have done to
the best of my ability in my own old age; how well I have done it
is for the reader to judge.
