Description

What was it like to roam the Great Plains alone, to be without the security of a tribe and have to rely only on your own skill to prevent starvation? Such a life would be unthinkable for many Native Americans in the mid-nineteenth century, yet Lone Bull, a Pikuni Blackfoot Indian, was given no choice when he was forced out of his tribe. Black Otter, the son of Lone Bull, retells his remarkable story to James Willard Schultz and uncovers the harsh life that faced him and his family during their time in the wilderness. As they wander across the plains they encounter various tribes, including Cheyennes, Gros Ventres and Assiniboines, who provide assistance for the homeless family, which would have surely perished had it not been for the assistance of strangers. Lone Bull's Mistake is a dramatic story of survival and one man's search for redemption. This book is a remarkable account of the life of Native Americans in the mid-nineteenth century. It provides vivid insight into the way they lived, how they hunted, what they believed and how they survived in what was often a very challenging environment. Praise for James Willard Schultz: "James Willard Schultz was a master of storytelling in the Indian manner." -- John C. Ewers, author of The Blackfeet: Raiders on the Northwestern Plains "A sensation-creating volume." -- St. Petersburg Times "A rip-roaring yarn and a dazzling glimpse into a vanished past." -- The New York Times "an animated and vivid picture of Indian life. The scene is on the plains in the old days, in the picturesque period when the tribe lived in a primitive way, subsisting on the buffalo and at war with hostile neighbours." -- George Bird Grinnell James Willard Schultz was given the name Apikuni, meaning Spotted Robe, by the chief, Running Crane.
