Description

In 1906 J.P. Morgan offered Edward Curtis $75,000 to produce a series of books on the North American Indian. It would end up to be a big series - twenty volumes with 1,500 photographs. This book starts with the story of the chance meeting on Mount Rainer that led to Curtis' involvement on the Harriman Alaskan expedition, and ultimately, to the North American Indian. - from Amzon
