Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Fur-Trade Adventurer's Life Among the Blackfoot on the Northern PlainsBy James Willard Schultz
Length5h 29m
About this audiobook
Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot recounts the life of Hugh Monroe, a young fur-trade adventurer who entered Blackfoot country and became known as Rising Wolf. Blending biography, frontier memoir, and ethnographic narrative, Schultz presents buffalo hunts, intertribal warfare, kinship customs, spiritual beliefs, and the precarious diplomacy of the northern plains. Its style is direct, vivid, and episodic, belonging to the early twentieth-century literature of reminiscence that sought to preserve Indigenous lifeways even as they were being transformed by colonization. James Willard Schultz, also known by his Blackfeet name Apikuni, was unusually positioned to write such a work. Born in 1859, he lived for years among the Blackfeet, married a Blackfeet woman, and learned their language and traditions through intimate experience rather than distant observation. His writings often reflect both admiration and the limitations of his era, but they remain valuable records of stories, personalities, and cultural practices he feared would disappear. This book is recommended to readers interested in Native American history, the fur trade, and literary representations of the Plains. Read critically, it offers a compelling portrait of cultural crossing and survival.
