James Willard Schultz (1859 1947) was an author, explorer, and
historian known for his historical writings of the Blackfoot
Indians in the late 1800s, when he lived among them as a fur
trader. His work is important because it contains first-hand
accounts from Native Americans which he recorded and wove exciting
biographical narratives around. The James Willard Schultz
Collection includes the four books Schultz is best known for - Bird
Woman (Sacajawea) the Guide of Lewis and Clark: Her Own Story Now
First Given to the World, Lone Bull's Mistake: A Lodge Pole Chief
Story, Rising Wolf, the White Blackfoot: Hugh Monroe's Story of His
First Year on the Plains and Apauk, Caller of Buffalo.
Bird Woman is historian James Schultz's biography of Sacajawea
culled from the first-hand accounts of various elderly Native
Americans who personally knew her. Schultz weaves together the key
events in Sacajawea's story, from her traumatic childhood and
adolescence, being captured and taken away from her home by a
raiding party of Minnetaree, to her unhappy marriage to the
interpreter Toussaint Charbonneau, through to her life assisting in
Lewis and Clark's exploration of the Pacific Northwest.
Sinopah, the Indian Boy is the true story of a Blackfoot Indian Boy
who later became the great chief Pitarnakin, the Running Eagle.
In the Great Apache Forest is the true story of 17-year-old white
settler George Crosby who being too young to serve his country in
France during World War I becomes a member of the forest service in

National Forest covered most of Greenlee County, Arizona southern
Apache County, Arizona, and part of western Catron County, New
Mexico. It was a rare, untouched place, far from the nearest
railroad, and boasted grizzly bears, black bears, mule deer and
Mexican whitetail deer, and wild turkeys and blue grouse in great
numbers.

master of the herd. This is his story.

account of what happened on the American frontier in the years
after Lewis and Clark.
