This is a one of a kind book. I found out about this book through an email I received containing 15-20 slides with some of these pictures in them. I was determined to try and find the book after I saw the presentation and did so by looking on ebay. The book contains pictures that would be impossible to see today if one were to try to capture the spirit of those times. The pictures are all in black and white of course, but nevertheless still show the unique life styles of the North American Indian. The book shows pictures of the Indians physical beauty and well as their native dress. What their chief source of food and shelter was is also depicted in the book and it leaves me with questions I'd like to ask but no one is there to answer. It definitely is worth buying and the experience you gain by this look into the past where survival and not greed, was the main thought, is unmeasureable.Read full review
This is the complete collection of photographs which were originally very expensive and only available in libraries (unless your name was Morgan, Vanderbilt, Carnegie or Roosevelt!) Curtis is sadly a footnote in history. It seems that U.S. history from reconstruction to WWII is often glossed over... This man's work and his story should be a part of all public school curriculums. Buy this book and read the biography by Timothy Egan for more insight into what went into the making of The North American Indian.
