Blackfeet Tales of Glacier National Park I TWO MEDICINE July 12, 1915. HUGH MONROE After an absence of many years, I have returned to visit for a time my Blackfeet relatives and friends, and we are camping along the mountain trails where, in the long ago, we hunted buffalo, and elk, and moose, and all the other game peculiar to this region. To-day we pitched our lodges under Rising Wolf Mountain, that massive, sky-piercing, snow-crested height of red-and-gray rock which slopes up so steeply from the north shore of Upper Two Medicine Lake. This afternoon we saw upon it, some two or three thousand feet up toward its rugged crest, a few bighorn and a Rocky Mountain goat. But we may not kill them! Said Tail-Feathers-Coming-over-the-Hill: "There they are! Our meat, but the whites have taken them from us, even as they have taken everything else that is ours!" And so we are eating beef where once we feasted upon the rich ribs and loins of game, which tasted all the better because we trailed and killed it, and with no little labor brought it to the womenfolk in camp. Rising Wolf Mountain! What a fitting and splendid monument it is to the first white man to traverse the foothills of the Rockies between the Saskatchewan and the Missouri! Hugh Monroe was his English name. His father was Captain Hugh Monroe, of the English army; his mother was Amélie de la Roche, a daughter of a noble family of French émigrés. Hugh Monroe, Junior, was born in Montreal in 1798. In 1814 he received permission to enter the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company, and one year later--in the summer of 1815--he arrived at its new post, Mountain Fort, on the North Fork of the Saskatchewan and close to the foothills of the Rockies.<

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

James Willard Schultz, or Apikuni was a noteworthy writer, discoverer, Glacier National Park guide, fur trader and historian of the Blackfeet Indians. He formed a fur trading post at Carroll, Montana and settled in the Pikuni tribe from 1880 to 1882. He was suggested the name Apikuni by the Pikuni chief, Running Crane. Apikuni in Blackfeet is translated as Spotted Robe. James is best known for his 37 books, primarily of the life of Blackfoot, and for his inputs to the designation of important features in Glacier National Park. James was born to affluent parents, Frances and Philander Bushrod Schults, as it was indicated during those times. The residence where he was born is streaked with a plaque as a New York State Historic Landmark. In his younger days, he reveled in the outdoors and his father ascertained that he was guided by professional outdoorsmen and hunters in the Adirondacks in camping and hunting excursions. He was a skilled hunter at a very young age. In the middle of 1880s, James started to spend much time in the Two Medicine and Saint Mary Lakes region of what is known today as Glacier National Park channeling and equipping resident hunters. In 1885, he wrote an article on the St. Mary Lakes to Forest and Stream, a few of his first literary works. During that time, George Bird Grinnell was the editor of the magazine, and he came to be interested with James and the Glacier region. George solicited James to equip and channel him on a hunting excursion in Glacier in September 1885. However, the excursion was not a huge feat for George, he did shoot a Bighorn ram on a mountain nearby the Upper Saint Mary Lake with only one shot. James swiftly called the mountain Singleshot Mountain to honor George's victory. Therefore, commenced years of James designating features in the Glacier regions for clients and friends, and to honor customary Indian names.
