A stunning volume that combines a fascinating true story with a priceless collection of historic photographs, WITH EAGLE TAIL relays the story of Arnold Lupson, a young Englishman who was embraced by the Native American community in the years after World War I. Lupson, a newspaper photographer from London, spent 30 years living among several tribes of the Plains Indians, even marrying the widow of a Sarcee chief. He came to be called "Eagle Tail" by his Indian friends. 
During his three decades with the Sarcee, Blackfoot, and Stoney Indians, he was allowed to photograph their culture and traditions; the result is an invaluable series of documentary photographs, published here for the first time. With a text by two experts on Plains tribes and culture, this superb book offers a rare and evocative glimpse into a bygone way of life.

Crowfoot, a Blood Indian who became chief of the Blackfoot Nation, was a great warrior and peacemaker during the time of settlement of the Canadian West. In one shattering decade, from 1875 to 1885, the great buffalo herds disappeared from Western Canada, forcing the Plains Indians who had depended on them for food, shelter, and clothing, to change their way of life. Crowfoot became a leader by merit, establishing his leadership in battle. He survived smallpox epidemics, fought in 19 battles, and provided generous leadership, sharing his wealth with the less successful. Crowfoot tells the story of how one Canadian First Nation was led through years of cataclysmic change by a wise chief, a great warrior, a diplomat and peacemaker who viewed peace as the key to survival.
