An entertaining travelogue of a 1901 float trip on the Missouri River along the route of Lewis and Clark. Also a valuable collection of stories, memories, and Indian legends that Schultz and his Blackfeet wife shared in their years together on the Northern Plains. An enjoyable read and a remarkable, first-hand account of what happened on the American frontier in the years after Lewis and Clark.

Rising Wolf, the White Blackfoot: Hugh Monroe's Story of His First Year on the Plains tells the true story of Hugh "Rising Wolf" Monroe, who came to the Blackfoot country when he was 16 and took part in buffalo hunts, accompanied war parties, saw parts of the United States no white man had ever seen before and helped make peace between the Crows and Blackfeet. Monroe died at ninety-eight and his body lies in Two Medicine Valley, "in full sight of that great sky-piercing height of red rock on the north side of Two Medicine Lake, which we named Rising Wolf Mountain."

1916. With illustrations. 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.
