The Blackfeet: Raiders on the Northwestern Plains: 49 (The Civilization of the American Indian Series) - Softcover
The Blackfeet were the strongest military power on the northwestern plains in the historic buffalo days. For half a century up to 1805, they were almost constantly at war with the Shoshonis and came very close to exterminating that tribe. They aggressively asserted themselves against the Flatheads and the Kutenais, shoving them westward across the Rockies. They got on fairly well with English and Canadian traders during the heyday of the fur trade on the Saskatchewan River, but on the upper Missouri they took an early dislike to Americans, whom they called "Big Knives." American fur traders, such as Manuel Lisa, Pierre Menard, and Andrew Henry, were literally chased out of Montana by the Blackfeet.

Review:
About the Author:
“Written by a man who has lived with the Indians and studied their culture. Anyone . . . interested in the history of American Indians will want this authentic and highly interesting volume.”—Dallas Times Herald
“A storehouse of highly readable and informative material about the three tribes which make up the Blackfeet Nation: Piegan, Blood, and the Siksika, or Blackfeet proper.”—Denver Post
“This authoritative work . . . is what all histories of Indian tribes ought to be—a careful combination of historic fact and ethnological observations integrated into a well-written, helpfully documented story.”—Library Journal
John C. Ewers (1909-1997), was the first curator of the Museum of the Plains Indian on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. Later he served as Director of what is now Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History and was Ethnologost Emeritus with the Smithsonian. His many publications include The Blackfeet: Raiders on the Northwestern Plains and Plains Indian History and Culture: Essays on Continuity and Change.
