{"product_id":"native-american-portraits-isbn-9780877017578","title":"Native American Portraits","description":"Over one hundred photographs from the renowned Kurt Koegler collection of Native American portraits taken between the end of the Civil War and the end of World War I are featured in this powerful compendium depicting a proud and defeated people. \u003ci\u003eNative American Portraits\u003c\/i\u003e presents a factual, anecdotal, and visual history of the evolving artistry and technology of a century of photographers, as well as of the tribes whose vanishing trappings and traditions they sought to capture with their craft. The photographers -- William Henry Jackson, Camillus Fly, Carleton Watkins, and Lee Moorhouse, among scores of others -- were intrepid adventurers, fiercely committed to their work, who hauled hundreds of pounds of photographic equipment across the mountains and faced many dangers; their subjects -- including such important warriors as Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, Red Cloud, Geronimo, and Chief Gall (who led the Indians to victory against Custer) -- appear venerable, dignified, and beaten. Fascinating and provocative, this richly illustrated and painstakingly annotated volume documents the intersection of photography in its infancy and Native American culture in precipitous decline.","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893436510437,"sku":"NP9780877017578","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/native-american-portraits-isbn-9780877017578","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
