SHORT NIGHTS OF THE SHADOW CATCHER by Timothy Egan
By Timothy Egan - Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis (9.9.2012) - Timothy Egan
  The life of Edward Curtis who photographed and told the stories of The North American Indian. His collection of the languages, customs, and traditions was phenomenal. If he had not done the documenting of them, once the tribes were assimilated into the US culture, they would have been lost. This book was well researched. It took me a couple of chapters to get into the story of Edward Curtis but once I did I was fascinated by his story and life. He met so many famous people both Anglo and Native. He was persistent. It took longer than he thought but he was thorough and very much into his subject no matter where they were. Interesting piece of history of which I knew nothing

Native American Wisdom - Running Press The black & white pictures in this book are really wonderful. The quotes are also great. The title is definitely right - there is a lot of wisdom to be found in this book. It has great quotes along with beautiful pictures that can be read again and again.
