Quotes by James Willard Schultz (?)

“There are some things of far more value than gold. For instance, a life free from cares or duties of any kind; a life in which every day and every hour brings its share of pleasure and satisfaction, of excitement, of happily earned and well-enjoyed fatigue.”
― James Willard Schultz, My Life as an Indian: The Story of a Red Woman and a White Man in the Lodges of the Blackfeet

“Alas! Alas! why could not this simple life have continued? Why must the railroads, and the swarms of settlers have invaded that wonderful land, and robbed its lords of all that made life worth living? They knew not care, nor hunger, nor want of any kind. From my window here I hear the roar of the great city, and see the crowds hurrying by.”
― James Willard Schultz, My Life as an Indian: The Story of a Red Woman and a White Man in the Lodges of the Blackfeet
