Butterfield: Seven Years With The Wild Indians is a book written by Ben Moore Sr. that tells the story of James Butterfield, a white man who lived with various Native American tribes for seven years in the mid-1800s. The book is based on Butterfield's own journal entries and letters, as well as historical research and interviews with descendants of the tribes he lived with.The narrative follows Butterfield's journey as he leaves his comfortable life in the East and ventures into the unknown territories of the West. He initially joins a group of trappers and traders, but soon finds himself living among the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Sioux tribes. He learns their languages, customs, and way of life, and becomes deeply immersed in their culture.Throughout the book, the reader is taken on a journey through the vast and beautiful landscapes of the American West, as well as the complex and often violent relationships between Native Americans and white settlers. Butterfield witnesses firsthand the devastating effects of disease, war, and displacement on the Native American people, and becomes an advocate for their rights and dignity.Butterfield: Seven Years With The Wild Indians is a fascinating and engaging account of one man's journey into the heart of Native American culture, and a powerful reminder of the importance of respecting and preserving the traditions and histories of indigenous peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
