Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indian, Incorporated (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture) Book

From the 1890s onwards, Edward S. Curtis took thousands of photographs of Native Americans all over the West. These were published (1907 1930) in twenty volumes of illustrated text and twenty portfolios of photographs; the project was supported by Theodore Roosevelt and funded in part by J. Pierpont Morgan, and spawned exhibitions, postcards, magazine articles, lecture series, a "musicale," and the very first narrative documentary film. Neither a eulogy to Curtis's achievement nor a debunking of it, this book is an honest study of the project as a collective whole.Read More
