Interesting fact about the Photographer: In 1911, Curtis decided to raise funds for his project by creating a film production company called Continental Film Company. With movies being popular in 1911, he hoped this would reel in money for his fieldwork adventures across the United States. (from: Makepeace, Anne. Edward S. Curtis Coming to Light.
