Book Synopsis
Many Native Americans photographed by Edward S Curtis (1868-1952) called him Shadow Catcher. Filled with Martin Curtis' breathtaking photographs, this book traces Curtis' life and work from his boyhood in Wisconsin, through his first photo expedition to Alaska in 1897 and the completion of The North American Indian collection in 1930.

Trade Review
"More than a reference and more than a biography of Curtis, this carefully researched, highly readable book emphasizes the photographer's perseverance and quest for quality and can serve as a model for young people."—School Library Journal (starred review)
