Malcolm McLeod (1870-1944) recorded the life of privation and danger of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century mixed blood cowboy. He worked for cattle owners across Montana and in southern British Columbia and eastern Washington. Born in Washington Territory in 1870 of Scotch, French Canadian, and Chippewa Indian heritage, he traveled many miles over the years, but home was the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana where he was enrolled and allotted land. He worked for Charles Allard, one of the largest stock owners on the Flathead Reservation. McLeod took care of Allard's famous buffalo herd and even rode buffalo for Allard's short-lived Wild West Show in 1893. In later years McLeod tried his hand at farming, a harness and shoe repair shop, and the taxi business. These enterprises never equaled the excitement and danger of his cowboy work. It was the labor and experiences of men like McLeod that built the modern Flathead Reservation community and economy."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a McLeod, Malcolm, $d 1870-1944. 600 10 $a Allard, Charles, $d approximately 1855-1896. 610 20 $a Indians of North America $z Montana $v Anecdotes. 651 0 $a Flathead Indian Reservation (Mont.) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Cowboys $z Montana $v Biography. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Mixed descent $z Montana $v Biography. 650 0 $a Ranch life $z Montana $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Horses $z Montana $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a American bison $z Flathead Indian Reservation. $z Flathead Indian Reservation. 651 0 $a Montana $v Biography. 700 1 $a Rogers, Mary Adele, $e editor. 700 1 $a Bigart, Robert, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170405035556.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2736121819C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
