The Crow Indians is a masterpiece of ethnography, foremost for Lowie's portrayal of the different personalities he encountered: Gray-bull and his marital troubles; the great visionary Medicine Crow; Yellow-brow, the gifted storyteller; and many more.
In 1907, 1910 through 1916, and again in 1931, Robert H. Lowie left behind academic anthropology to live among the Crow Indians, listening to the old men and women tell of times gone forever. He learned much about what had been, and still was, a society remarkable for its variability and cohesion, and for its resistance to the encroachments of white civilization.
