"One of the greatest pleasures of my long life on the plains was my intimate friendship with Hugh Monroe, or Rising Wolf, whose tale of his first experiences upon the Saskatchewan-Missouri River plains is set forth in Rising Wolf just as I had it from him before the lodge fires of the long ago."



James Willard Schultz, or Apikuni, (1859-1947) was a noted author, explorer, Glacier National Park guide, fur trader and historian of the Blackfoot Indians. He operated a fur trading post at Carroll, Montana  and lived among the Pikuni tribe during the period 1880-82. He was given the name Apikuni by the Pikuni chief, Running Crane. Apikuni in Blackfoot means "Spotted Robe." Schultz is most noted for his 37 books, most about Blackfoot life, and for his contributions to the naming of prominent features in Glacier National Park.

Enjoyed reading this book. It took me through a time in the history of the old west which is difficult to find much in print about. This has a first person style about it which makes for more interesting read. PT

This book reveals what it was like in the early fur trade era to live and thrive with the Blackfeet. It's an amazingly good adventure and makes me wish I were Rising Wolf (Munroe).

This is a first person narrative and you see the experience through his eyes. I was looking for something more indepth on the cultural, traditions, etc. While entertaining and easy read --and I would recommend it as a interesting narrative; wasn't what I was looking for.

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024

Hugh Monroe did a great service to posterity by sharing the account of his first year with the Blackfeet on the northern plains and the mountains of modern Montana with James Willard Schultz. His descriptions of the vast landscape and the grandeur of the northern Rocky Mountains and Glacier National Park are thrillingly detailed, accurate, and inspiring.
Life with the tribes of the plains is described without bias or romanticism but with a great sense of respect for their ways.
The book takes one back to a time when life was an adventure, when a young man might live by his wits and his courage and his trust in others who showed their integrity through both words and actions. Makes me want to go back.

This book gave a great perspective of Native American Indians prior to settlement of western plains before been settlement of white America, Book is rich in native American Indians and their life with other Indian tribes, The Blackfeet and Crow nations warfare and prospective in relationship of the American buffalo nomadic tribe following buffalo for food and clothing. Life before Indians got guns and horses made some nations powerful and able to defeat their enemies. Also wild game was abundance and food easy to captured tribes nomadic and very territorial. I would recommend book for high school students for historical research and character studies of other people.

5.0 out of 5 stars an astonishing story
Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2024
Verified Purchase
I can just imagine how excited I’d be as a 14 or 15 year old invited to join the voyageurs on their year long journey to the Canadian Rockies! Then to be attached to the Peigan Nation and journey south hunting buffalo and learning all the ways of the Blackfeet.

Because I know intimately the places mentioned in this record - Belly River, Bow River, Oldman River, Chief Mountain - it makes the story all the more meaningful to me. Ah how thick this land was with the buffalo herds not so very long ago.

Often enough these sorts of accounts are interesting but slow moving. Not here. This one reads like a fast-paced novel. Every page is fascinating. Never, as they say, a dull moment.

Highly recommended. Five solid stars.

There is nothing that needs correcting. The book ably demonstrates that we have a long way to go before we become truly civilized.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Fun, Quick and Informative Read
Reviewed in Canada on June 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
Just three stars because this book is like a teaser: short and sweet. So much of documented history recounts the darker side of human behavior. This book seemed like the first chapter in a story that I now feel inquisitive to investigate. While showing the inate violent culture of survival, it is more than balanced with sweet harmony and a happy ending. The saga continues to today as we all extend compassion to our disadvantaged. That's my take away lesson.
