Washington, D.C. : National Geographic, c2002.. Hard Cover. 200 p. : illus. (some col.), map ; index, 26 cm. Bold, sometimes abrasive, forever passionate, Edward Curtis was the quintessential romantic visionary. Curtis struggled through an impoverished boyhood in Minnesota to become a successful society photographer in Seattle. But he soon moved far beyond weddings and studio portraits to his life's work-a multi-volume photographic and ethnogrpahic work on the vanishing world of the North American Indian.Initially, Teddy Roosevelt and J.P. Morgan backed the ambitious project. But as the work stretched over years, Curtis found himself alone with his vision, struggling to finance himself and his crews. The 20-volume North American Indians, finally completed in 1930, cost Curtis his marriage, his friendships, his home, and his health. By the time he died in 1952, he and his monumental work had lapsed into obscurity.Additional reading (p. 198). Stock# 44,692. Vg/ dj vg.
