  Began photographing Native Americans in 1895. Sold these photographs in his successful downtown Seattle studio.
  Awarded grand prize at the National Photographic Convention for several sepia-toned images in 1899.
  Planned to document tribes keeping native customs west of the Mississippi.
  In 1904 began in earnest to photograph other tribes throughout the West.
  Gained recognition and endorsement for his project from President Roosevelt as well as financial assistance from J. P. Morgan for his project.
  His masterwork, The North American Indian, he and Morgan decided, would be a set of 20 books documenting the lifeways, mythology and ceremonies of over 80 tribes illustrated with high quality photoengravings taken from his glass plate negatives.
  Although he had hoped to print a limited edition of 500 copies, Curtis was only able to find 222 subscribers for The North American Indian and thus printed less than 300 sets.
  The North American Indian was "rediscovered" in the 1970s after a showing of Curtis' work at the Pierpont Morgan Library.
