Summary "The Sheep Eaters" by William A. Allen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and culture of the extinct Sheep Eater tribe, a small group of Shoshonean Indians who thrived in the mountainous regions of Wyoming and Montana. Through vivid descriptions and narratives, the author brings to life the customs, spirituality, and eventual demise of this tribe, highlighting their unique connection to the land and their reliance on mountain sheep as a primary resource. The narrative is structured around various chapters that collectively paint a detailed picture of the Sheep Eaters, beginning with an overview of their history and culture and transitioning into the personal experiences of the author as he encounters the last member of this tribe—a 115-year-old woman who shares the traditions and stories of her people. The book further delves into her reminiscences about the hardships faced by the Sheep Eaters, their worship rituals, and a poignant love story between two young members of the tribe. Allen's writing not only captures the essence of this once-thriving community but also serves as a tribute to their legacy, intertwining historical facts with storytelling to evoke a sense of loss and nostalgia for a culture that has largely disappeared.
