Across lonely plains and forested river valleys, George O. Shields records a world on the brink of irreversible change. The frontier still breathes here. In The Blanket Indian of the Northwest, a noted 19th-century outdoor writer offers a rare, unvarnished glimpse of the peoples once called the blanket Indians of the northwest and of the American Northwest frontier era that reshaped their lives. Blending 19th century frontier nonfiction, travel narrative and what now reads as an ethnographic study of tribes, Shields writes as a contemporary observer of early reservation life of tribes and the uneasy patterns of settler and Indian relations. His portraits of daily customs, dress, work, trade and ceremony, set against the encroaching late 19th century West, form a vivid primary source account for historians and a rich reference book for researchers in Native American history. For readers of Western Americana curious about the people behind the stereotypes, and for general readers who enjoy classic frontier travelogues, this Native American history book offers immediacy, texture and atmosphere that no later summary can match. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
