J. W. Schultz (1859–1947) was an author, explorer, and historian known for his historical writings of the Blackfoot Indians in the late 1800s, when he lived among them as a fur trader. In 1907, Schultz published My Life as an Indian, the first of many future writings about the Blackfeet that he would produce over the next thirty years. Schultz lived in Browning, Montana.
Adventures of a youth and some Blackfoot Indians who travel far in search of buried gold. The dangers of the way and hostile Indians add excitement. The ever potent lure of buried treasure carries the hero into a series of dangerous experiences with the Indians leading to the finding of gold. The characters in this book are old favorites with Mr. Schultz's readers. Lone Chief shows young Tom Fox twenty dollar gold pieces, which he calls buttons, saying that he found a thousand of these on a trip through the South country. He could not carry them so he buried the rest. The adventures of Tom and his pals in search of the treasure makes a thrilling story. There are striking illustrations.
