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.

This is a beautiful volume documenting one of the greatest projects in American history. It arrived in a timely fashion and I shall treasure this addition to my 3,000-volume private library. Thanks so much!

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

  • A Fascinating Cultural Record of the First Americans

    This book is an incredible and unique record of the way of life of many of the tribes of Native Americans still in existence around the turn of 19th century. Ed Curtis was a hero who sacrificed his entire adult life to document this for all generations to come. Everyone should see this book, what it shows is beyond words and explanations.

  • A must for history and photography lovers.

    If you love history and photography, or the history of photography, this book is a must for you. Edward Curtis' story is as fascinating as that of the subjects he photographed. It's a good read and the photos are so unique. This is a rich piece of Native American history and that of our Nation. To have such a record of a time and peoples that largely no longer exist is a treasure.
