The Sheep Eaters

The Sheep Eaters, published in 1913 by William A. Allen, is a historical account of the now-extinct Sheep Eater tribe, a group of Shoshonean Indians from Wyoming and Montana. The book details their culture, spirituality, and reliance on mountain sheep, illustrated through Allen's personal encounters, including a poignant meeting with the last living member of the tribe. This work serves as both a tribute to their legacy and a vivid portrayal of a community that has largely vanished, blending historical facts with storytelling.
