"Trails Through Western Woods" by Helen Fitzgerald Sanders is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work intricately weaves together Indian traditions and the rich narratives of the Selish tribe in the Bitter Root Valley, a lesser-known region filled with natural beauty and mythological significance. The author expresses a deep appreciation for the disappearing wilderness and aims to illuminate the culture and historical experiences of the Selish people, particularly through legendary narratives. The opening of the text establishes a vivid portrayal of the Selish tribe as seen through the eyes of early explorers, including Lewis and Clark. It describes their welcoming nature, lifestyle, and deeply ingrained traditions, alongside the tragic decline they faced due to disease and conflict with rival tribes. The narrative also features legendary figures like Coyote, who plays a critical role in their myths, highlighting themes of bravery and sacrifice. This rich introduction sets the scene for further exploration of their legends and historical moments that shape their cultural identity, suggesting that the book will reveal both the beauty and the heartache of a people battling the encroachment of civilization.
