Enriched Edition. Hugh Monroe's Story of His First Year on the PlainsBy James Willard Schultz
Length5h 23m
About this audiobook
True Life Story: Rising Wolf the White Blackfoot recounts the extraordinary career of Hugh Monroe, a Hudson's Bay trader's son who entered Blackfoot country, received the name Rising Wolf, and became a cultural intermediary on the northern plains. Schultz shapes biography into frontier ethnography: hunting episodes, warfare, kinship obligations, spiritual customs, and diplomatic encounters are rendered in a vigorous narrative style that belongs to early twentieth-century "Indian story" literature while preserving valuable memories of pre-reservation Blackfoot life. James Willard Schultz (1859–1947), known to the Blackfeet as Apikuni, was unusually positioned to write such a book. Having lived for years among the Blackfeet, married into the community, guided, traded, and later written extensively about Plains life, he drew on oral testimony, personal experience, and the antiquarian impulse shared by contemporaries such as George Bird Grinnell. His intimacy with Blackfoot landscapes and customs gives the narrative its authority, even as it reflects the assumptions of his era. Recommended for readers of Native American history, frontier biography, and literary ethnography, this volume offers more than adventure. It invites reflection on identity, adaptation, and memory, and should be read critically yet appreciatively as a vivid record of cross-cultural life on the nineteenth-century plains.
