Describes The Blackfoot Beaver Bundle Ceremony, Including The Story
Of Its' Origin.
1910. In the Preface, the author explains how he came to write this
volume: After becoming acquainted with the Blackfeet Indians, I
realized that there were locked up in the breasts of the old chiefs
and medicine men rich treasures of folklore, religious beliefs and
ceremonials. I saw that the younger generation was indifferent to
their tribal customs, traditions and religion. I also observed that
they had no written language, and it seemed inevitable that, with
the passing of the old chiefs and medicine men, their ancient
religion and folklore would fall into oblivion. When I discovered
that I could obtain the unbosoming of their secrets and that the
door was open to me for study and investigation, I resolved that I
would do my best to preserve all the knowledge available. Partial

Wolf; Hunting in the Rocky Mountains; A Rocky Mountain Blizzard;

In 1886 Walter McClintock went to northwestern Montana as a member
of a U.S. Forest Service expedition. He was adopted as a son by
Chief Mad Dog, the high priest of the Sun Dance, and spent the next
four years living on the Blackfoot Reservation. The Old North
Trail, originally published in 1910, is a record of his experiences
among the Blackfeet.
