Published by the Salish Kootenai College PressPeter Ronan (1839–93) was the government agent for the Salish and Kootenai tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana from 1877 until his death. It was a period of rapid cultural and economic change for the tribes as hunting and gathering resources declined and the surrounding white population exploded in western Montana. As an ex-newspaperman, Ronan provided reports to the commissioner of Indian Affairs with unusually full and detailed information about Flathead Reservation events during a critical time for the tribes. Ronan was a unique federal Indian Agent in the nineteenth century both because of both the length of his tenure and his ability to work with tribal leaders."A Great Many of Us Have Good Farms" includes Ronan's letters from 1877–87, when the Salish and Kootenai navigated crises that could have destroyed the tribes. In 1877 the tribes worked hard to stay out of the Nez Perce War, after which they then had to avoid conflict with white settlers who could mistake them for hostiles and a government that tried to deprive them of guns and ammunition for hunting and self-defense. The Bitterroot Valley Salish struggled to preserve their right to live in their traditional homeland.The letters, an 1884 photographic tour of the reservation, and a biographical sketch of Ronan provide a rich and exciting journey through nineteenth-century Flathead Indian Reservation history.

Ronan was a unique federal Indian Agent in the nineteenth century both because of both the length of his tenure and his ability to work with tribal leaders.Justice to Be Accorded to the Indians includes Ronan's letters during the 1888–93 period covered by this second volume of Ronan's letters, the tribes navigated growing economic and legal crises. Tribal farms and cattle herds expanded to make up for declining traditional hunting and gathering resources. Ronan and Kootenai chief Eneas worked hard to avoid open conflict with white settlers encroaching on the northern boundary of the reservation. Despite repeated provocations, Eneas was able to keep the peace and struggled to get equal justice for Kootenai victims of white criminals. The letters also detailed Ronan's efforts to relocate the Bonners Ferry Kootenai and Lower Pend d'Oreille Indians on the Flathead Reservation and make off-reservation allotments to those tribal members who chose to remain in Idaho and Washington. This volume includes biographical sketches of Salish chiefs Arlee, Charlo, and Louison; Pend d'Oreille chief Michel; and Kootenai chief Eneas.

Chief Eneas Bigknife: Kootenai Indian Patriot and Diplomat has been assembled from excerpts of the letters of Flathead Indian Reservation agent Peter Ronan written to the U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs about Ronan’s dealings with Eneas Bigknife, chief of the Flathead Reservation Kootenai Indians between 1865 and 1900.Agent Ronan was impressed with Chief Bigknife’s dedication to his community and his struggle to protect Kootenai rights and property. The Kootenai band on the Flathead Reservation was small—only 315 members in 1877—and vulnerable to physical extinction from intertribal conflict with the Plains Indian tribes and later to hostile white settlers in the Upper Flathead Valley. Since the Kootenai settlement was approximately sixty-five miles from the Flathead Agency in the Jocko Valley, Ronan relied on Bigknife to keep the peace between the Kootenai Indians and local white men. Bigknife used his government salary to purchase agricultural equipment and tools to help the Kootenai expand their farms and horse and cattle herds. He struggled to get the biased white legal system to give justice to the Kootenai Indians who were assaulted and murdered by white men.
