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

great sky-piercing height of red rock on the north side of Two
Medicine Lake, which we named Rising Wolf Mountain."
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
Arizona, where he encounters troublesome outlaws and helps to rout
them with the help of a Hopi boy and his tribal elders. The Apache
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.
Blackfoot boy Apauk longs to be a buffalo caller, the member of the
tribe responsible for luring buffalo to a death trap concealed
beyond the edge of a cliff. Apauk endures many tests, some of them
heartbreaking, before he learns the 'medicine' or secret to being a
master of the herd. This is his story.
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 James Willard Schultz Houghton Mifflin,
1919 Siksika Indians
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. Contents: I. Two Medicines: Hugh
Monroe; The Woman Who Earned a Man's Name; and The Story of the
Thunder Medicine. II. Pu-Nak-Ik-Si (Cutbank): How Mountain Chief
