Henry P. Moore was born in New York and began his career as a photographer in the 1860s. He moved to Colorado in the 1870s and began photographing the area's Native American tribes. His photographs were highly regarded for their artistic quality and sensitivity to the subjects. Moore's photographs were exhibited at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and were praised for their authenticity and beauty. He also published several books of his photographs, including 'The Indian and His Wigwam' and 'The Frontier Photographer'. Despite his success, Moore struggled financially and eventually returned to New York, where he continued to work as a photographer until his death in 1911. Today, Moore's photographs are considered important historical documents and are held in museum and library collections across the United States. They provide a valuable record of the lives and cultures of Native Americans at a time of great change and upheaval.
