Edward Sheriff Curtis grew up in a small country town in Minnesota where he father was the reverend. As a teenager, he built his first camera from scratch. When the Curtis family moved to the Washington territory in 1892, he got married and bought a photographic studio in Seattle. After the business became very successful, Curtis traveled to Los Angeles and opened photographic studios on La Cienga Boulevard and in the Biltmore Hotel. Despite his success in portraiture, he is most well known for his photographs of Native Americans. He produced the twenty-volume manuscript, The North American Indian that contained information and photographs of more than one hundred tribes.
