Dogs: History, Myth, Art Book

I saw this book when I was 12 and it was so expensive and I had to save up for 4 months to purchase this book with a discount coupon and sometimes I would relive that childlike excitment.

I am a big fan of native american culture and many a times I used the pictures in the book to write short stories. Over the years it always stayed with me. My copy has survived well with no dog ears with only inimal damage at the spine. My copy was not only well loved but carefully handled as well.

The book contains 800 photographs of the native american culture during their early days at the reservations.(That heartbreaking history of America). The pictures sometimes are clearly not ethical as they looked staged with the use or props and may be carefully calculated to portray a certain reality. Knowing native american history well enough, I can clearly see that someimess the reality seen in these pictures were not the reality the Indians were living.

That being said, some of the pictures are stunning and can sometimes seem devastating

One of my favorite pictures:
This man's stunningly sophisticated beautiful face speaks volumes of his pain.
