Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Annie Owns the Fire is a teacher at a reservation school in Idaho. In 1913 all such institutions forbid Indian languages and ceremonies. The Indian has been vanquished, the survivors herded onto reservations and, whenever possible, their children sent away to boarding schools to be 'civilized.' Unlike the other instructors, Annie Owns the Fire rebels. [] Ansel Fry is an Indian Bureau stenographer from Washington. He has been assigned to an expedition heading west by rail to 75 reservations. Leading the party is Joseph Kossuth Dixon, eager to photograph the last redmen. Romanticized portraits of native 'types' have made his reputation. With flag-draped pageantry and a phonographic recording of President Woodrow Wilson, Dr. Dixon will exhort the reservation Indians to vow allegiance to the U.S. [] Accompanying the expedition as liaison is the great Indian agent James McLaughlin. He is also dictating to the stenographer his personal recollection of the arrest of Sitting Bull by tribal police 23 years earlier on the Standing Rock Reservation. It is an episode that dogs him even now. His mood is not improved by news that Annie Owns the Fire, his adopted daughter, is joining him on the expeditionary train because she has been dismissed from her teaching post for describing to her class 'wiwanyag wachipi,' the forbidden Sun Dance. [] SHADOW CATCHER is closely based on eight years of research into the Wanamaker Expedition of 1913; it is a deceptively simple story about a complex piece of our past. It is about Indians, about the power of images, and about truth. It is a lost piece of our history brought brilliantly, realistically alive." [jacket copy] "A completely satisfying journey. It is an honest and direct tale about a complex subject . . . In the freshness of its subject, its narrative approach, it descriptive richness and cast of striking characters, SHADOW CATCHER is a wholly original novel."--David Carkeet. "Charles Fergus has taken the history changing truth that a photograph is a knowing wink from the eye of time, and worked an evocative novel from it. SHADOW CATCHER is an album in which we not only see our Western past, we begin to hear it."--Ivan Doig. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact & bright jacket.…

The DJ is in a plastic sleeve. This was a Book-of-the-Month Club alternate selection! As a government-backed expedition makes its way west--sent to America's Indian reservations to extol the virtues of U.S. citizenship--photographs of the poor conditions on the reservations, the work of someone in the expedition, make their way into D.C. papers. Charles Fergus was born and raised in central Pennsylvania. He now lives on a farm in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom with his wife, the writer Nancy Marie Brown. He likes to read books of all kinds, especially historical fiction and mysteries with compelling plots and believable characters. When I decided to write a mystery series, I wanted to depict, as honestly as I could, the reality of what happens when a person takes another person's life. I drew on my own experience in creating my main character, the young Pennsylvania Dutch sheriff Gideon Stoltz, who, as a boy, lost his mother to a murder. He has also written many books about nature and the outdoors. Readers tell him that his understanding of wildlife, natural places, and rural living informs his works. The Wanamaker expeditions were a series of three journeys led by Joseph K. Dixon to various tribes of Native peoples living in the US in the early 20th century. The three expeditions were primarily sponsored by department store magnate Rodman Wanamaker. In February 1913 ground was broken on a National American Indian Memorial. Upon Dixon's request, Franklin Knight Lane, the United States Secretary of the Interior, approved another expedition. In June that year, Dixon set out with his son, Rollin, another photographer, John Scott, James McLaughlin, and an employee of Eastman Kodak on an "expedition of citizenship" that was sponsored by Wanamaker's and the Pennsylvania Railroad, which provided a rail-car that had a darkroom, known as Signet. It was also supported by Woodrow Wilson, William Howard Taft, and Thomas Edison. Funding was in part provided by a "Committee of One Hundred", which included wealthy Americans such as John D. Rockefeller and William Randolph Hearst. The expedition traveled 20,000-27,000 miles by rail in around six months and visited 89 tribes. It raised an American flag in a ceremony everywhere it went and gifted every reservation an American flag. Additionally, the expedition had a "Declaration of Allegiance" for Natives to sign and recordings of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the President of the United States speaking. At the Panama-Pacific International Exposition the exhibitions' photographs were awarded with a gold prize. The 1913 expedition did lead to increased public support for Native American citizenship, and some tribes welcomed Dixon's visit. In 2018, the film Dixon-Wanamaker Expedition To Crow Agency (1908) was selected to the National Film Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Derived from School Library Journal: In 1913 the Rodman Wannamaker Expedition of Citizenship to the North American Indian traveled to the reservations presenting patriotic ceremonies to encourage Indians to become citizens and to capture posed photographs of them. Using this actual expedition and the historical figures involved, Fergus dramatizes the situation of early 20th-century Native Americans, and readers view the hopeless misunderstandings between the two cultures. No one knows that Fry, a stenographer, is capturing candid photos of the Indians with a hidden camera under his vest and is sending them to the press. The contrasts between appearance and reality will stun readers: the pompous formal ceremonies with posed photographs and the harsh bitter reality of the exploited Indians as captured by Fry's shots. Through his experiences and his camera's lens, readers will perceive an accurate account of American history. The possibility of Fry being caught will snag their interest, but above all they will empathize with a powerless group forced to adapt to change yet struggling not to lose its identity. Fine fiction. -- From a review by Sue Davis, Cedar Falls High School Library, IA. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Nancy Marie Brown (Author photograph) (illustrator).…
