A stunning volume that combines a fascinating true story with a priceless collection of historic photographs, WITH EAGLE TAIL relays the story of Arnold Lupson, a young Englishman who was embraced by the Native American community in the years after World War I. Lupson, a newspaper photographer from London, spent 30 years living among several tribes of the Plains Indians, even marrying the widow of a Sarcee chief. He came to be called "Eagle Tail" by his Indian friends.
During his three decades with the Sarcee, Blackfoot, and Stoney Indians, he was allowed to photograph their culture and traditions; the result is an invaluable series of documentary photographs, published here for the first time. With a text by two experts on Plains tribes and culture, this superb book offers a rare and evocative glimpse into a bygone way of life.
