Included in this lot is the First Edition book, "The White Beaver", by James Willard Schultz, 1930, illustrations by Rodney Thomson. James Willard Schultz (1859 – 1947), or Apikuni, knew the Blackfeet Indians intimately. Arriving at Fort Benton in Blackfeet territory in 1877, he married his beautiful Blackfeet wife, Natahki, and spent decades as a trader, rancher and hunting guide in what is now western Montana. Schultz was given the name Apikuni by the Pikuni chief, Running Crane; Apikuni in Blackfeet means, "Spotted Robe." He spent his later life writing 47 books, many of them novels about his friends, the Blackfeet Indians. Schultz was also a noted author, explorer, Glacier National Park guide, fur trader and historian of the Blackfoot Indians. His memoir, ''My Life as an Indian", tells the story of his first year living with the Pikuni tribe of Blackfeet Indians East of Glacier.
The brown cloth bound cover is in good condition, slight scuffing noted to cover edges, intact pages exhibit age tanning, foxing noted. Measures 5"W x 7.5"L x 1.25"D
