Excerpt from The North American Indian, Vol. 1 of 20: Being a Series of Volumes Picturing and Describing the Indians of the United States and AlaskaDear mr. Curtis, We are looking with great interest to the first volume of your great work. It may gratify you to know that the one Director who alone objected to paying for your work at a time when the library was particularly hard up and had to pull in its horns even on $1 books, has become converted and realizes at last that no respectable public library can do without such a historic record.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Prayer to the Great Mystery: The Uncollected Writings and Photography of Edward S. Curtis

Prayer to the Great Mystery is a historic publishing event, a remarkable coup that presents 93 newly discovered photographs--along with 150 others--taken by Edward S. Curtis. Deeply human and symphathetic, these images embody Curtis's attempt to preserve the character is Native American Cultural life before its erosion by the nineteenth-century flood of American expansion. Accompanying the photographs is a poignant series of myths, abridged from Curtis's ethnographic writings. Prayers to the Great Mystery is a stunning account of a vanished era, and a seminal book for understanding our rich Native American legacy.

Perhaps the most fitting tribute to Curtis's work was written by George Bird Gringell. " I speak of Curtis's work as photography and of his pictures as photographs;but these terms are misleading to anyone who, in thinking of a photograph,forms a mental picture only of the photgraphs that he seen. The results that Curtis gets with his camera stir one as one is stirred by a great painting; and when we are thus moved by a picture, and share the thought and feeling that the artist had when he made the picture, we may recognize it as a work of art." The photographs bring me to tears.

Indian Days of the Long Ago (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Indian Days of the Long Ago The camp of Lone Pine, chief of the Salish, or Flatheads, was onithe banks of the Red Willow River, 'a beautiful stream ﬂowing through the forests of the Bitterroot Mountains, in what we now call western Montana. Its cold, trans lucent waters come from the springs and snows far up among the mountain crags. Beautiful lodges or tepees made from the dressed Skins of buffalo and elk were scattered everywhere among the pines. The village was like the camps of hundreds of other Indian chiefs or head men, which stood beside the forest stream, by the quiet brook of the open plain, by the lake in the mountains, or on the grassy bank of the prairie lake.

In some cases the object was fishing; in others to hunt the buffalo, or elk and deer; or to dig roots and gather berries and other wild fruits.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
