Synopsis
At the turn of the 20th century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) started on his 30-year project to produce a monumental study of North American Indians. Using an approach that was both artistically and scientifically ambitious, he recorded, in words and pictures, the traces of the traditional Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out. With tireless personal commitment Curtis visited 80 American Indian tribes from the Mexican border to the Bering Strait, gaining their confidence through his patience and sensitivity. His work was printed in 20 volumes between 1907 and 1930 as The North American Indian , but with only 272 copies, originals became extremely rare. This book gathers Curtis's entire American Indian portfolio into one publication, offering renewed access to and appreciation of his extraordinary achievement, which is as much a precious historical document as a triumph of the photographic form., Over the course of 30 years Edward S. Curtis exhaustively documented America's first inhabitants. Follow along on his visits to 80 American Indian tribes from the Mexican border to the Bering Strait-working up to 16 hours a day to gain their trust and document their traditional way of life as it was already beginning to die out. This unabridged, hardback edition gathers Curtis's entire portfolio into one breathtaking volume., At the turn of the 20th century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) started on his 30-year project to produce a monumental study of North American Indians.

Very interesting book on our native American tribes. However, the text under the some of the photos show the biases of the time when the pictures where taken. I was hoping to find the Patwan tribe listed along with the neighboring Pomo; no such luck. I live in an area where the tribe was very active and use their place-names . I've gone thru it since it arrived.

A Great Hard Cover Book, but no Osage, Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, or any Native American Natives in Oklahoma. But it is still a Great Book. Thank You Willis
