Friends and Foes in the Rockies By James Willard Schultz – Complete & Unabridged First Reprint

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

James Willard Schultz was born in 1859 and ventured west while still a young man. There, he took an Indian wife and lived among her people—hunting beside them, fighting beside them, even riding out on raids against enemy camps. Many a night he sat cross-legged on buffalo robes beneath the flickering firelight of a lodge, listening to the stories of warriors and aged war chiefs, their voices low and steady as they spoke of battles, spirits, and the old ways.

       It was from these stories—and from his own raw experiences on the frontier—that Schultz drew the material for his books, eventually writing some thirty-seven in total. He remained with his Indian friends well into his later years, following them even onto the reservation, where he lived in a teepee and had the newspaper delivered to his door.
