Photographing Custer's Battlefield
The Images of Kenneth F. Roahen
In Photographing Custer’s Battlefield, Sandy Barnard, an expert on Custer and the Little Big Horn, presents the work of the site’s most dedicated photographer, U.S. Fish and Game agent Kenneth F. Roahen (1888–1976), revealing further mysteries of the battlefield and showing how it has changed.
Through a Native Lens
American Indian Photography
Drawing from tribal and state archives, libraries, museums, and individual collections, Through a Native Lens features photographs—including some never before published—that range from formal portraits to casual snapshots. The images represent multiple tribal communities across Native North America, including the Inland Tlingit, Northern Paiute, and Kiowa.
Hardship, Greed, and Sorrow
An Officer’s Photo Album of 1866 New Mexico Territory
This compelling book reveals what we know about the collection, its compiler, and the photographer—or photographers—who captured such a fraught and complex moment in the history of the American Southwest.
Where Custer Fell
Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now
To create Where Custer Fell, authors James S. Brust, Brian C. Pohanka, and Sandy Barnard searched for elusive documents and photographs, made countless trips to the battlefield, and scrutinized all available sources. Each chapter begins with a concise, lively description of an episode in the battle. The narratives are graphically illustrated by historical photos, which are presented alongside modern photos of the same location on the battlefield. The book also features detailed maps and photographs of battle participants and the early photographers who attempted to tell their story.
Peoples of the Plateau
The Indian Photographs of Lee Moorhouse, 1898–1915
The photographs in Peoples of the Plateau capture the lives of Pacific Northwest Indians at the turn of the twentieth century. By the late nineteenth century, after the U.S. government had confined these Indians to a reservation, their lives began to change irrevocably.
