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. Contents: I. Two Medicines: Hugh
