He survived Custer’s Last
Stand and 71 years in the basement
of a Boston museum.
Some say Curley was the last living
survivor of the Battle of the Little
Bighorn. Others say he was just a scout
who never saw action. Either way,
Edward S. Curtis took his photograph
and the rest is history.
Curtis included this print in a 1906
exhibition that won support for his
lifelong obsession: capturing the spirit of
CURLEY
Native American life. The exhibition was
sold immediately after its showing and
not seen again until 1977, discovered in
the basement of a museum outside Boston.
Like these prints, Curtis was almost
forgotten. Here’s what happened…
Over a period of 25 years, backed by
J.P. Morgan and his family, Curtis created

what is now valued as a masterpiece,
The North American Indian. It is a set of
volumes containing over 1,400 original
photographs and printed using a very
difficult process. In fact, it would cost $35
million to produce them this way today.
But Curtis’ images of Native
American life were soon replaced by the
images in Hollywood Westerns, and the
public showed little interest in Curtis after
that. He suffered a nervous breakdown,
was divorced, and his original plates were
sold for scrap. When he died in 1952, his
obituary failed to even mention that he
was a photographer.
Thankfully, in the 1970s, on the
back shelves of a book shop and in that
• Fort Worth, Texas 76107-2695 • 817.738.1933

was rediscovered. His reputation since
has skyrocketed. Today Edward S. Curtis
is recognized as the greatest photographer
of Native Americans that the United
States has ever produced. Many of his
masterpieces, like Curley, have survived.

Geronimo was taken
prisoner in 1886, but his spirit wasn’t
captured until 1905.
Some say that when he walked, he left
no footprints. He was the great Apache
warrior, and for years he fought against the
United States and Mexican governments.
He fought for land, supplies and
the future of his people. After repeated
negotiations, captures, releases and
escapes, Geronimo was taken prisoner for
the final time in 1886. He was taken
prisoner, but his spirit was never defeated.
You can see this in his portrait taken
by Edward S. Curtis in 1905.
Curtis made it his life-long pursuit
to photograph all the Indian tribes of the
American West. Based on the powerful
images he displayed at an exhibition in
Boston, he received financial backing from
J.P. Morgan himself. In the end, Curtis

produced a multiple-volume masterpiece
containing over 1,400 photographs.
At times, Curtis did take liberties with
such things as the Indians’ clothing,
which some experts say detracts from his
accomplishments and makes his work
less authentic.
But what is not challenged is the fact
that Curtis was the first to treat his Indian
subjects with a great deal of respect in
his photography. He saw things others could
not—or refused to—see. He sought to
represent a higher truth. He was creating art.
And as a result, Curtis is now regarded
as this country’s greatest photographer
of Native American life. Often, as is clearly
the case with Geronimo, he was able
to capture something no one else could.

Come see what Indian sidekicks

looked like before Tonto.
The most lasting and romantic images
of Native American life can be seen,
not on old Hollywood Westerns, but at
the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth.
For 25 years, Edward S. Curtis traveled
across the American West, with a goal
to photograph every Indian tribe. His work
was largely funded by J.P. Morgan, and
resulted in a set of volumes containing
over 1,400 photographs.

Still, maggots aren’t for everyone.
Fortunately there is an alternative. There is one clinically
proven Papain-Urea ointment that rapidly debrides necrotic tissue,
