How This Trapper Became One of the Last Blackfoot Warriors

In the wilds of Montana Territory, a young white trapper set out in search of adventure, but instead, he found a new life among one of the most powerful Native American tribes.
J.W. Schultz arrived as an outsider, but over time, he was no longer just a trader. He became a husband, a warrior, and a witness to a vanishing way of life.
In his memoir, My Life as an Indian, Schultz captures the thrill of buffalo hunts, the intensity of war parties, and the sacred traditions of the Blackfoot people. Considered one of the most famous classics in American history, this book offers a rare, firsthand look at a world few outsiders ever truly understood.
