DJ has slight wear and soiling. Timothy Egan (born November 8, 1954) is an American author, journalist and op-ed columnist for The New York Times, writing from a liberal perspective. Egan has written seven books. His first, The Good Rain, won the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award in 1991. For The Worst Hard Time, about people who lived through the Great Depression's Dust Bowl, he won the National Book Award for Nonfiction and the Washington State Book Award in History/Biography. The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America is about the Great Fire of 1910, which burned about three million acres and helped shape the United States Forest Service. The book describes some of the political issues facing Theodore Roosevelt. For this work he won a second Washington State Book Award in History/Biography and a second Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award. New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Egan returns with the story of Edward Curtis (1868-1952), whose photographs of American Indians now command impressive prices at auction. "Epic" and "immortal" are words most fitting for Curtis, whose 20-volume The North American Indian, a project that consumed most of his productive adult life, is a work of astonishing beauty and almost incomprehensible devotion. Egan begins with the story of Angeline, Chief Seattle's daughter, who in 1896 was living in poverty in the city named for her father. Curtis photographed her, became intrigued with the vanishing lives of America's Indians and devoted the ensuing decades both to the photography of indigenous people over North America and to the writing of texts that described their culture, languages, songs and religion. J.P. Morgan and President Theodore Roosevelt were both supporters. Curtis traveled nearly everywhere, living with the people he was studying, taking thousands of photographs.
