The Blackfeet were hunters, travelling from place to place on foot. They used implements of stone, wood, or bone, wore clothing made of skins, and lived in tents covered by hides. Dogs, their only tame animals, were used as beasts of burden to carry small packs and drag light loads. The stories here told come down to us from very ancient times. Grandfathers have told them to their grandchildren, and these again to their grandchildren, and so from mouth to mouth, through many generations, they have reached our time. Those who wish to know something about how the people lived who told these stories will find their described in the last chapter of this book.

Twenty-five or more real Blackfeet Indian folklore stories have been gathered by Mr. Grinnell during his years of intimate study and knowledge of the Native Americans, and are here related as simply and as graphically as the Native Americans themselves told them. "The Blackfeet were hunters, traveling from place to place on foot. They used implements of stone, wood, or bone, wore clothing made of skins, and lived in tents covered by hides. Dogs, their only tame animals, were used as beasts of burden to carry small packs and drag light loads. "The stories here told come down to us from very ancient times. Grandfathers have told them to their grandchildren, and so, from mouth to mouth, through many generations, they have reached out time." -George Bird Grinnell "George Bird Grinnell has collected old Indian legends never before told in type in 'Blackfeet Indian Stories.'" -The Book Buyer "Older boys and girls will find this next book interesting, as it brings together the main facts concerning the lives of some of our great missionary workers among the American Indians. John Eliot, Samson Occum, David Brainerd, Marcus Whitman, John Lewis Dyer, and Stephen R. Riggs. In some of the sketches the men themselves furnish the narrative, so we find the quaint wording and spelling of the times they record." -Everyland "Legends and anecdotes of primitive Indian life, handed down verbally from generation to generation, are here collected and effectively narrated in English." -The Independent "Mr. Grinnell tells simply and interestingly the legends of the Blackfeet tribe." -The Review of Reviews CONTENTS TWO FAST RUNNERS THE WOLF MAN KŬT-O-YĬS�, THE BLOOD BOY THE DOG AND THE ROOT DIGGER THE CAMP OF THE GHOSTS THE BUFFALO STONE HOW THE THUNDER PIPE CAME COLD MAKER'S MEDICINE THE ALL COMRADES SOCIETIES THE BULLS SOCIETY THE OTHER SOCIETIES THE FIRST MEDICINE LODGE THE BUFFALO-PAINTED LODGES MĪKA�PI--RED OLD MAN RED ROBE'S DREAM THE BLACKFEET CREATION OLD MAN STORIES THE WONDERFUL BIRD THE RABBITS' MEDICINE THE LOST ELK MEAT THE ROLLING ROCK BEAR AND BULLBERRIES THE THEFT FROM THE SUN THE SMART WOMAN CHIEF BOBCAT AND BIRCH TREE THE RED-EYED DUCK THE ANCIENT BLACKFEET

In 1886 Walter McClintock went to northwestern Montana as a member of a U.S. Forest Service expedition. He was adopted as a son by Chief Mad Dog, the high priest of the Sun Dance, and spent the next four years living on the Blackfoot Reservation. The Old North Trail, originally published in 1910, is a record of his experiences among the Blackfeet.
