All the tales appeared between 1910 and 1927 in the pages of the popular family weekly The Youth's Companion. The stories featured the sort of spirited adventure popular at the time, but Schultz was more conscientious than other writers of the day in his depiction of American Indian life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchultz first encountered the Blackfeet in Montana Territory in 1877, when he was seventeen, and he lived among them for the next seventy years until his death. These tales are based on his experiences with the Blackfeet, who gave him the name Apikuni. Apikuni plays a role in many of the stories, usually under the name Spotted Robe. Although he was neither a historian nor an ethnologist, Schultz filled his stories with history, and with detailed descriptions of the Blackfoot daily life and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid C. Andrews has gathered these tales, the last of Schultz's to be published in book form, and arranged in the order in which they were written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Willard Schultz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806159758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806159751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.59d","brand":"James Willard Schultz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054510534911,"sku":"9780806159751","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13eaa86f-eb15-47c2-9d87-02efed8d64ba.jpg?v=1685030369","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blackfeet-tales-from-apikunis-world-james-willard-schultz-9780806159751","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
