Publisher's Synopsis

In The Land Of The Headhunters is a book written by Edward S. Curtis and published in 1915. The book is a detailed account of Curtis' experiences and observations during his travels to the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, where he encountered the Kwakwaka'wakw people.

Curtis' writing is vivid and descriptive, and he provides a unique perspective on the customs and beliefs of the Kwakwaka'wakw people. The book is also notable for its stunning photographs, which capture the beauty and complexity of the Kwakwaka'wakw culture.
