Curtis, Edward S., The Sioux and the Apsaroke from Volumes Three and Four of The North American Indian by Edward Sheriff Curtis

Harper Colophon, 1975. Wraps, like new with custom-made polyester protector. Edited by Stuart Zoll with Foreword by A.D. Coleman. 105 pages. This book is illustrated with Curtis’ photos but the reproduction quality is better in other publications.  What distinguishes this work is Coleman’s informative introduction reviewing scholarship about Curtis and Curtis’ texts in Volumes 3 and 4 of his twenty volume magnum opus, The North American Indian, completed in 1930.  In addition to being a skilled photographer, Curtis was an ethnographer and here details Native American customs, such as courtship and marriage.
