Unflinchingly honest yet tender, Alysia Abbott describes growing up in 1970s/80s San Francisco, just after Stonewall and before and during the worst of the AIDS epidemic from which her gay father eventually dies. She reveals so much moving truth, not only of the circumstances of their lives, but also of the beautiful commitment of their father/daughter relationship. Sophia Coppola will be making a film version of the story!

Most Americans are familiar with photographs of Native Americans such as Geronimo and Chief Joseph but are not necessarily familiar with the stories behind the pictures of the individuals who went to great expense and effort and even personal risk to create a lasting look of a vanishing culture. Edward Curtis (1868-1952) was such a unique individual and Egan’s telling of his story is a masterpiece of biography and history.

With little formal education but with an insatiable passion to leave a lasting pictorial and written record of native peoples Egan tells of Curtis’ early struggles and eventual support from President Teddy Roosevelt and the financial support of J.P. Morgan to publish a 20 volume illustrated set taken from the tens of thousands of photographs Curtis took of 80 tribes throughout North America.

Well beyond the photographs you learn of the many experiences he had over three decades living with native peoples recording their customs and even with sound and early movie recordings. A highly recommended work providing a unique perspective of the history of the American west.
