Book Club | “Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward S. Curtis” by Timothy Egan

Edward Curtis labored without pay for three decades to document Native American ways of living he thought were disappearing. He risked his life, lost his marriage and died in poverty to create a magnificent work of photography, ethnography and publishing in The North American Indian.  Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and best-selling author of seven books, Timothy Egan tells this fascinating story about the life and work of Edward S. Curtis.
