Capturing the First Portraits of the American Indian: Gertrude Käsebier

Today Stauney talks about Gertrude Käsebier, one of the first women in the United States to become an accomplished commercial photographer, and the first woman to be known for her portrait photography! We talk about her early childhood in the Colorado Gold Rush, her unhappy marriage, her career rise in her late thirties, her controversial opinions, portraits of the Sioux people that toured with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and much more! She's also our first photographer, so it's fun to dive into a new medium.
