Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bald Face and Other Animal Stories There was but one way in which to settle this dis pute; and in the time-hallowed manner in which all peoples before or since have adjusted their grievances, so the Blackfeet and Shoshones prepared to settle this. They painted for war. The legends of those who keep no written records but instead pass history from generation to generation by word Of mouth are apt to become a trifle distorted as time goes on. The white men knew this and when the last of the Shoshones told the first of the whites that the big tracks had' always been seen in the hills since their forefathers first came to the headwaters of the river the white men, knowing that the Shoshones had lived there for perhaps a thousand years, were in clined to doubt. But knowing too that the grizzly lives a long life, perhaps even longer than man, and having themselves seen the great prints, the white men were prepared to admit that the monster silver tip had been leaving his tracks in the hills for some time. In reality he made his first tiny tracks in the melting snowdrifts when he followed his mother from the den on the very spring that the hills first echoed to the war whoops as two mighty nations battled over whether he should later go to sleep with a full stomach or on an empty one.
