About this listen
Beautiful, tender, haunting, and full of excitement, this is the memoir of famed author, explorer, Glacier Park guide, trader, and historian of the Blackfoot Indians, James Willard Schultz. With the Blackfoot woman, whom he deeply loved, from 1880 to 1903, Schultz lived the life of a Blackfoot Indian with Nat-ah-ki and her people. During this time, he began writing for magazines, at times running a trading post, and working as a guide in the West.
He met historian, writer, and naturalist George Bird Grinnell, who encouraged him to write this heartfelt and important memoir. As an ethnography of a people and a time it is invaluable.
Though he would marry again, Schultz eventually went back to live near the Native peoples he'd come to love and is buried in the traditional ground of Nat-ah-ki's people. You won't read another memoir like it.
Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the migration that changed the country forever.

This is a superb historical romance.
This is a brilliant, first hand account of a young adventurer seeking and finding a full life and love on the buffalo plains. I was very surprised that I had not been made aware of this book in my younger days. So happy to have stumbled upon it.

A meaningful life
there is too much to say. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. it tells of a time when and where life was good on the plains. it is an untold and un-taught history of the native people, giving the reader a good look into what they may not have before understood.
