This published report consisted of 15 volumes along with a statistical atlas, reports on social and vital statistics, and an Extra Census Bulletin: "Report on Indians Taxed and Indians Not Taxed". Gilbert Gaul (1855-1919) was one of a group of eleven artists commissioned by the Federal government to illustrate this bulletin. The resulting document was considered the most thorough study to date on Native American life. Gaul had previously traveled extensively in the West as a magazine illustrator, documenting the Civil War in Tennesee and then going further afield to live on remote army posts and in tribal villages.
