Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis by Timothy Egan

National Book Award winning author Timothy Egan brings to our attention a man who in the early part of the last century captured through his haunting photographs, the faces and culture of the Native American Indian before they changed beyond recognition. That man was photographer Edward Curtis. This book will appeal to photography and history buffs alike, as well as those who want a closer look at the cultural conflicts and policy consequences of that time. -- Amy O.
