Filled with Edward Curtis's powerful photogravure plate images and archival photographs, the collection documents his thirty years of dedication to preserving Native American culture and capturing its songs, stories, and ways of life in words and images.

Reviews

Grade 8-10?Lawlor illuminates the life of the man driven to complete the monumental project of documenting in photographs, words, and sound recordings the Indian cultures of North America (it took him 30 years). At the same time, she portrays the compelling plight of Native Americans in the early part of the 20th century. The reproductions of the sepia-tinted portraits and landscapes of the "Shadow Catcher," the sobriquet applied to the man by the peoples he photographed, are outstanding. The combination of history and artistry will enlarge the audience for this title. More than a reference and more than a biography of Curtis, this carefully researched, highly readable book emphasizes the photographer's perseverance and quest for quality and can serve as a model for young people.?Nancy E.
