Publisher's Note
The time of which George Bird Grinnell writes in the opening lines of his book was about 1850. No white observer of his era (he was born in 1849 and died in 1938) knew more intimately the life and ways of the Plains Indian tribes, or for so long a period. Grinnell went on the Custer expedition to the Black Hills in 1874, and as ethnologist, historian, and writer spent much time thereafter with the tribe that was clearly his favorite, the Cheyennes, but he also worked with the Blackfeet, Pawnees, and others. From 1889, when his first book, Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk Tales, appeared, he wrote thirteen books of serious intent, of which The Fighting Cheyennes (1915) and The Cheyenne Indians (1923) are best known.
The boy Wikis and his people are not identified by Grinnell in his account, but the internal evidence is that they were Northern Cheyennes, living close to and allied with the Arapahoes, and in conflict with the Blackfeet and Utes. We can readily accept the author's statement that "The incidents of this simple story are true," and we can justifiably believe that they were derived from one or more informants living the life so clearly and arrestingly described in these pages.
