The Trail of the Spanish Horse (1922)

This book is a thrilling Indian story written by a famous old-time frontiersman James Willard Schultz, (1859 to 1947). Schultz was a noted author, explorer, Glacier National Park guide, fur trader and historian of the Blackfoot Indians. While operating a fur trading post at Carroll, Montana and living amongst the Pikuni tribe during the period 1880-82, he was given the name "Apikuni" by the Pikuni chief, Running Crane. Schultz is most noted for his prolific stories about Blackfoot life and his contributions to the naming of prominent features in Glacier National Park.

Written nearly 100 years ago, this well-paced, suspenseful tale is particularly for the reader who delights in the adventurous life of the Plains. The author who was an adopted member of the Blackfoot tribe and married to a Blackfoot woman, describes the life, customs, and beliefs of his Indian companions with the keenness of an anthropologist.
