Friends of My Life as an Indian
No Customer Reviews
In the summer of 1922, a group of elderly Blackfeet men and women met for a few weeks' camping in Glacier National Park with their old friend, James Willard Schultz (whose Blackfeet name was Apikuni). Over the course of the summer, they reminisced about the old day, when the herds of buffalo still covered the plains and their tribe was free to follow them. Each page of this remarkable book provides information on the history of their tribe, their religious beliefs and individual adventures, as presented by the men and women who lived before they were forced onto the reservation.James Willard Schultz (1859 - 1947) knew the Montana frontier well. Arriving at Fort Benton in Blackfeet territory in 1877, he married his beautiful Blackfeet wife, Natahki, and spent decades as a trader, rancher and hunting guide in what is now western Montana. Later in life, he wrote 47 books, many of them novels about his friends, the Blackfeet Indians. Friends of My Life as an Indian, originally published in 1923, has long been out of print. This new electronic edition, with a detailed, original introduction by Bryan R. Johnson, makes this fascinating book available once more to the public.
