Stained Gold
Gold, greed and murder! A group of free trappers in the Blackfeet territory find themselves in the middle of a group of thieves who wish to take control of more than 25 pounds of gold nuggets, taken from an innocent miner.Action and adventure, including battles with enemy war parties, murder and a tale of tribal revenge, Stained Gold offers a great story of life on the Upper Missouri, when the Blackfeet and gold miners – and those who prey upon them – come into conflict.James Willard Schultz (1859 – 1947) knew the Montana frontier well. 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. Later in life, he wrote 37 books, many of them novels about his friends, the Blackfeet Indians. The White Buffalo Robe, originally published in 1936, has long been out of print. This new digital edition, with a detailed, original introduction and footnotes by Bryan R. Johnson, makes this fascinating tale of adventure available once more to the public.
