The Amidon Family genealogy book details the lineage of Roger Amadowne, a French Huguenot who fled to England and later to America after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Documented in Salem, Massachusetts in 1637, variations of his surname include Amadon, Amidown, and Ammidon. The work, organized with biographical sketches and two helpful indexes, presents the family’s history and is richly illustrated. Originally published in 1904, it serves as a valuable resource for descendants and historians alike.
The Blackfoot territory was rich in diverse game, including buffalo, antelope, elk, and mountain sheep, thriving in a landscape of prairies, breaks, and timbered valleys. Buffalo were fundamental to their lifestyle, offering food, clothing, and tools, with every part of the animal utilized. Early hunting relied on stone-tipped arrows and ingenious trapping methods, such as the piskun, which drove buffalo over cliffs for harvest. Their deep understanding of animal behavior and effective hunting strategies ensured a sustainable subsistence, vital for the tribe’s survival and prosperity.
