Biographical NoteReturn to Top
James Willard Schultz (1859-1947) lived in and wrote about the northwestern portion of Montana now included within the Blackfeet Reservation and Glacier National Park. In 1877, at the age of 18, he traveled from his birthplace in Boonville, NY, to Fort Benton, Montana Territory. He became interested in American Indians, and lived for many years with the Blackfeet Indians as an accepted member of their nation. Drawing upon his experiences on the western frontier he later wrote thrilling and colorful books and articles to make his living as an author.
Schultz's first marriage was to Fine Shield Woman (d. 1903), a Piegan Blackfeet, in 1879. They had a son named Hart Merriam Schultz, or Lone Wolf (1882-1965). In 1907, while living in Los Angeles, Schultz married Celia Hawkins (1865-1960). They divorced in 1930. Schultz married again, to Jessica "Jessie" Donaldson, an English professor at Montana State College (now Montana State University). She was a lifelong advocate for Northern Plains Indian culture, particularly the welfare of women, and helped develop markets for handicrafts.
James Willard Schultz died June 11, 1947, of a heart attack after many years of ill health.

Photographers represented include H.T. Cowling and T.J. Hileman of Kalispell, Montana.
The photographs were initially processed by assigning numbers to duplicate prints and renumbering all prints with the beginning of each folder, with each folder representing broad subject groupings. These subject groupings have been retained, but the prints have been given sequential numbers which span the entire collection to aid in their identification. Occasionally the prefix "n" has been added to a print number which indicates that a negative is available. Negatives, which have been given the same number as their corresponding prints, have been placed in folders 6-10 of box 10. Those negatives that had no corresponding print or are otherwise unidentified have been placed in folders 11 and 12, and are not numbered. Duplicate prints have been placed in folders 13-16. Oversize prints numbered #214, 349, 374, 375, and 376, have been removed from the collection for storage elsewhere.
