    Schultz was a noted author, explorer, Glacier National Park guide, fur trader and historian of the Blackfoot Indians. While operating a fur trading post at Carroll, Montana and living amongst the Pikuni tribe during the period 1880-82, he was given the name "Apikuni" by the Pikuni chief, Running Crane. Schultz is most noted for his prolific stories about Blackfoot life and his contributions to the naming of prominent features in Glacier National Park. On the Warpath, by James Willard Schultz, is a unique and odd story of a white man's experiences while living among Indians as one of themselves. It has an extraordinarily intimate effect, as if it might be a translation from some tale written in an Indian dialect. As a story it contains many incidents that will thrill young readers. For older ones it will be valuable as a study of Indian mental and spiritual life. This book originally published by Houghton Mifflin in 1914 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.

    Now he has three women who’ve traveled to marry him, and he has to decide which is the best for him, and for his young family. But who is the best choice? Sweet Emma Roberson, a fine cook who has come looking for love, or the proud Aggie Hamilton, who can organize a household and tend to the books? Or Margaret Mitchell, who lost her husband recently and is desperately seeking a family to care for? It takes a brush with death for the choice to become clear, and for each heart to find its place.

    The same voice tells me that the only reason she didn’t shoot first and ask questions later is because she saw me shoot one of the men that was trying to get away. I tell her that there is another one back in the ravine that was there to kill anyone who came into the yard except his confederates. She asks me who I am, so I explain how I came to be here at this time. She has been in the house shooting from a window up until now when she steps out of the house and tells me I can pick up my gun, but not to get any ideas.

    While trying to solve a rustling problem for the LX, he was recruited by legendary lawman Pat Garrett to join a posse of tough men to find and arrest outlaw Billy the Kid. When he returned to Tascosa, he was elected sheriff of Oldham County, charged with keeping the peace in the growing community and its population of gunmen, shady gamblers, rustlers, and thieves in a rowdy, hard-drinking town.

And Jim was caught in the crossfire of the conflict that threatened to rip his town apart in a bloodbath that would make the Lincoln County range war look like a simple barroom brawl . . .

     PRELIMINARY COMMENTS: “The excruciatingly long wait for Spider Rain is finally over, and it doesn’t disappoint! Poor Emmett appears to be the only sane person in Dodge, and that makes for lots of laughs. Of course, precocious little Scarlett—my favorite character—outdoes herself, yet again.” “Of all the books John Locke writes, the westerns are my favorites. Spider Rain—announced a year ago—is here at last. I was mildly annoyed the author wrote and published two other books while writing this one, but he says the westerns are a labor of love, and maybe what makes them so special is the extra time he puts into writing them. Spider Rain will give you at least one smile per page. It’s Locke at his best.” “John has confided this might be his last western. I sincerely hope that’s not the case, because reading these books is like spending quality time with your favorite friends and family. Spider Rain is funny and sad and hopeful and crazy and good-hearted and I loved every minute of it.”

An orphan since he was a small child, Sammy grew up working long, dusty days as a ranch hand on the Twin T, busting broncs, herding cows, and learning to spit his tobacco juice with contest-winning precision.

Only he doesn't know just how dangerous his adventure is about to become. Follow the rugged excitement as Sammy treks Along The Fortune Trail, fighting off cruel weather, attacking renegade Apaches, and overcoming the evil ploys of enough crooks and villains to send any regular saddle-sore hombre heading home to the hills.
