4.9/5 (15473 ratings)

Description:This is a stirring tale of the Blackfeet and the Cree Indians of Montana-how they lived, loved, fought, and died. Lem Skerry, a restless young man, followed the dictates of hos heart to "Go west." He joined the Blackfoot tribe, and was thereafter known as Visiting Bear. He considered himself a "blood brother" to the Indians, and lived the rest of his life with them. Assuming all of the characteristics of an Indian, he even smelled of lodge smoke, buckskin and animal fat. His complexion took on the color of smoked ham and his face was covered with thick, short, red-and-white whiskers. He learned to speak Piegan (Blackfoot) and Cree fluently. Visiting Bear had many sons and daughters. He also had a foster son, Summer Weasel, a Cree he had taken as an infant when he saw the Blackfeet massacre the child's mother and sisters. IN retaliation, Summer Weasel's father, Ghost Shadow, terrorized the Blackfeet by stealing into their lodges at night and killing whole families. Often a Blackfoot could be heard warning, "Beware of Ghost Shadow! He comes in the night and kills you while you sleep! The sleeper that sleeps too soundly is liable not to wake with the dawn!" Unaware of his relationship with Ghost Shadow, Summer Weasel is instrumental in leading him to his death. Another time, he refrains from killing Violet Woman, a beautiful Cree, falls in love with her and takes her back to his own lodge, hoping to marry her. The story reaches an exciting climax as Summer Weasel and Violet Woman attempt to straighten out their tangled lives after some startling revelations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
