"A half-century spent in rubbing shoulders with the Cheyennes... forbids me to think of them except as acquaintances, comrades, and friends. While their culture differs from ours in some respects, fundamentally they are like ourselves, except in so far as their environment has obliged them to adopt a mode of life and of reasoning that is not quite our own, and which, without experience, we do not readily understand." --George Bird Grinnell, Preface to The Cheyenne IndiansThe Cheyenne Indians: Their History and Ways of Life--Vol. II (1923) by George Bird Grinnell, describes the life and culture of the Cheyennes, a Native American people originally from what is now Minnesota. Volume II of this two-volume set looks at the Cheyennes' practice of waging wars, their religious beliefs, and healing practices.

Volume I of this two-volume set looks at the tribe's history, its customs, the role of the woman, hunting, games, and amusements.

"A long association with the Cheyennes has given me a special interest in them, and a special wish that they should be allowed to speak for themselves. What the Indians saw in the battles here described, I have learned during years of intimate acquaintance with those who took part in them." --George Bird Grinnell, Preface to The Fighting CheyennesThe Fighting Cheyennes (1915), by George Bird Grinnell, describes the battles fought by the Cheyennes, a Native American people originally from what is now Minnesota. In writing this book, Grinnell consulted many different people with first-hand experience in the Cheyenne wars, and presents, as he stated, "the accounts by whites and Indians, without comment." One of Grinnell's main sources was the researcher George Hyde (1882-1968), who claimed to be the ghost writer for this classic book.

"The Boone and Crocket Club is organized primarily to promote manly sport with the rifle among the large game of the wilderness, to encourage travel and exploration in little-known regions of our country, and to work for game and forest preservation by the State." --Theodore Roosevelt & George Bird Grinnell, American Big-Game HuntingAmerican Big-Game Hunting--The Book of the Boone and Crockett Club (1893), edited by Theodore Roosevelt and George Bird Grinnell, is a collection of essays about hunting and outdoors adventures from various authors, such as "Nights with the Grizzlies," by Colonel W. D. Picket; "The Yellowstone Park as a Game Reservation," by Arnold Hague; and "In Buffalo Days," by George Grinnell. This collection was released as part of a series of books by the Boone and Crocket Club, a club founded by Teddy Roosevelt with George Grinnell in 1887 for the preservation of large game animals and their habitats in the United States.

The Blackfeet were hunters, travelling from place to place on foot. They used implements of stone, wood, or bone, wore clothing made of skins, and lived in tents covered by hides. Dogs, their only tame animals, were used as beasts of burden to carry small packs and drag light loads. The stories here told come down to us from very ancient times. Grandfathers have told them to their grandchildren, and these again to their grandchildren, and so from mouth to mouth, through many generations, they have reached our time. Those who wish to know something about how the people lived who told these stories will find their described in the last chapter of this book.
