The author is best known for his photo-histories of the West Coast. This book is a collection of 193 black and white photographs of Indian life as seen by Edward S. Curtis and some from the collections of the early white man. Contains information about the culture of the north-west coast Indians in Alaska, Canada and U. S. A.: totem carving, sea hunting, slave trading, ceremonial dancing, etc. Modern literature presents the American Indian as a weak, sick, miserable part of our society. As a contrast, all pre-Columbus American material and evidence portray the Indians as a very strong, handsome, alert, dignified and, as a rule, exceptionally friendly and hospitable people. From this point, it is very interesting to read historical and ethnographical works on Indian life and habits. We know of no special books on Indian medicine, but some travellers and missionaries give information about their health and sickness and how it was treated.
