In northern Montana among the Blackfoot Indians, Jack sees a medicine pipe ceremony, learns of old time hunting ways, and explores the unknown mountain region above the head-waters of St Mary's river and Swift current.
"To me these books are like a light at night to any creature. They continue to attract me and I have read them again and again, for they bring back the past in wonderful way to the men who have traveled the plains and scaled the mountains which tower bold blue above them."
George Bird Grinnell (September 20, 1849 – April 11, 1938) was an American anthropologist, historian, naturalist, and writer. Grinnell was born in Brooklyn, New York, and graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in 1870 and a Ph.D. in 1880. Originally specializing in zoology, he became a prominent early conservationist and student of Native American life. Grinnell has been recognized for his influence on public opinion and work on legislation to preserve the American bison. Mount Grinnell is named after Grinnell.
