Dr. Larry Len Peterson: Art Historian & Author (Part 1) - Epi. 278, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Dr. Larry Len Peterson on today, and we're discussing his
new book "Edward S. Curtis, Printing the Legends: Looking at
Shadows in a West Lit Only by Fire" it's a terrific book. I read
this whole book and I'm going to read it again. There's just so
much information, not only about Edward Curtis, but about that
whole time frame from 1860 to 1945. All the big players, whether
it's J.P. Morgan or Buffalo Bill or Custer, and even the Indian
boarding school systems.  If you're interested in Curtis,
this podcast is a must-listen. 

The other component that makes this project so important is the
array of beautiful reproductions within the book. Did I mention
he only printed 1,000 copies? It's not going to be available for
long and it's going to be one of those great collector
items.

Dr. Peterson is uniquely positioned to write a book like this.
He's a great author. He's won dozens of awards and he is a former
physician who has written and published many research papers in
his previous area of expertise. He's just one of these polymath
individuals that you're lucky you get to meet and have in your
life.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be able to meet Dr. Larry Len
Peterson and have been working with him on occasion. I'm glad I
had the opportunity to spend time with this book and delve into
the subject of Edward Curtis with an expert. 

So I hope you enjoy. It's a two-parter. This is part one. Dr.
Larry Len Peterson on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 278.
