The Old North Trail or: Life, Legends and Religion of the Blackfeet Indians

Rating:
Summary: The Old North Trail is as authentic as the journal of L& C
Review: Walter McClintock was a young man who came to the Blackfeet Country at about the turn of the century. He was a trained scientist who could use a camera and he kept careful notes. This is not a romance novel nor anthropological interpretation. McClintock was simply there and made friends well enough to be accepted. He recorded stories, rituals (also took photos), and daily incidents as well as much natural history. He was really there and he is an honest and graceful reporter.
