📱 eBook en inglés RISING WOLF THE WHITE BLACKFOOT (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot recounts the early life of Hugh Monroe—a Hudsons Bay apprentice who became Rising Wolf among the Pikuni—during the turbulent fur-trade era of the northern Plains. In a supple, as-told-to narrative that blends ethnographic observation with frontier adventure, Schultz follows Monroe through buffalo hunts, winter camps, intertribal diplomacy, and spiritual obligations. The prose is brisk yet attentive to ceremonial detail and kinship etiquette, situating Monroes crossings of language and allegiance within the larger contest of empires and nations along the Rocky Mountain front. James Willard Schultz, adopted by the Blackfeet and known as Apikuni, lived for decades among them, married into the tribe, and later guided in the high country that became Glacier National Park. Drawing on long residence, fluency, and elders testimony—along with Monroes own recollections preserved in camp talk—Schultz renders a life history that is both personal memorial and cultural document. Scholars of Indigenous North America, the fur trade, and environmental history will value its granular portrait of Pikuni lifeways; general readers will relish its clear-eyed drama. Read this work for a nuanced bridge between oral tradition and written history, and for an intimate perspective rarely granted in frontier literature.
