"Descriptive Catalogue of Photographs of North American Indians" by William Henry Jackson is a catalogue of photographs from the 1800s that shares a unique collection of images displaying different tribes of North American Indians. The catalogue shares historical information about this photo collection documenting the different tribes, their ways of dressing, and how they lived; together the collection is a great way to learn about the different tribes. The introduction tells how important and special the photo collection is, since it was created by the United States Geological Survey. It also tells about how hard it was to take pictures of people, because they had strange beliefs about photos, and how people, like William Blackmore, helped put the collection together. Early in the catalogue, the book tells how many photos there are, over a thousand, from more than 25 tribes, and it shares information about the people in the photos; this catalogue helps people really learn about the different Indigenous American cultures.
