Excellent book. This is book one of the 20 completed. I love reading history! I believe the American Indian had the best way of life. Respecting nature and living so the next seven generations could prosper.

The photographs taken by Edward S. Curtis deserve to be displayed at least 8x10. A coffee table book size bigger than that would be closer to delivering the feeling and power evoked by looking at those images. I have several other books on Curtis in larger sizes and they are much more enjoyable to read... but they dont have everything he produced.

About 20yrs a i requested an American Indian book from interlibrary loan in the twin cities from the University of MN. When it came in, my library wood not let me leave the library with it because it came from the special collections. So I made copies of my section that I was interested in. So when I saw this book, I had to buy it! AND YES, it is a copy of that very book. I am so very happy to be able to own it. Thank SO much! 1907.
