Love the story behind each unique photo. This not only illustrates Curtis' professionalism but depicts the existence of a Great Nations people. The photos are one of a kind. Each one had it's own story. I am thrilled to own this works. What Mr Curtis went through to get their trust so he could provide these pictures is another thrilling story.

This is a great companion photo book to Timothy Egan's book "Short Night of the Shadow Catcher" about Edward Curtis and his amazing lifelong adventure to capture on film the vanishing way of life of Native American tribes. His lifelong project was originally 20 volumes; in this book you get to see the best. Great photos reflect the passion of the photographer and this book delivers a glimpse of what is it to be consumed in a life long mission. A hundred years later Curtis and his work inspired a young Native American woman to photograph a sequel - Project 562. http://www.upworthy.com/its-been-over-100-years-since-an-artist-has-done-this-in-america-about-time-someone-did-it-again?c=upw1
The book contents are amazing! I had the book 40 years ago but it disappeared and I need it again for drawing and painting. Unfortunately, the outer cover came off so I’ll have to find a way to glue it back.
