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
