Grand Endeavors of American Indian Photography

A grand endeavor in itself, this book gathers images by a variety of early photographers, including Reed, Curtis, Anderson, Matteson, and others. Working to document a culture that was changing rapidly under the new American expansion, these photographers produced a body of work that is an invaluable resource. Includes numerous duotone reproductions, a map, and insightful essays to put each photographer's work in historical and aesthetic perspective.
