I am saddened that Edward Curtis has not received the acclaim that he deserves in the past or present. His work is phenomenal in it’s content and priceless capture of historic moments of time. I wish we could have easier access to the book.

Please read the fourth sentence in my comment as:

Asahel was the far better businessman of the two and was for many years the first president of the Mt. Rainier National Park Advisory Committee and a prolific photographer of the park.

Came upon your excellent blog while researching a photograph which appeared in today’s (April 3) Seattle Times. The Times says it is an Edward Curtis, though it looks a lot more like an Asahel Curtis photo. Asahel was Edward’s younger brother, whom I follow. The two were in business for a time and then broke up after a dispute over photographs taken by Asahel during the Alaska Goldrush. Asahel was the far better businessman of the two and was for many years the first president of the Mt. Rainier National Park Advisory Committee prolific photographer of the park. The Edward Curtis photo I mentioned is in April 3 edition of the Seattle Times in a story about people and their animals at the White River Library. Asahel Curtis’ work can be found at the University of Washington Library and at the Washington State Historical Society which has, I believe, all his negatives.
