Rhys, you should read the recent book by Egan "Shadow Catcher" - he does an amazing job of 'filling in the gaps' between historical facts, to make fact seem almost like historical fiction - I know Curtis' life very well and have a pretty extensive collection of items related to his work, and Egan's book still amazed me. Egan immerses himself in his subjects and has a team of dedicated researchers - the places he looked for 'new' historical material to write his book, were mind-boggling.
Basically, I'm suggesting you get the book
I plan on putting my Curtis collection up on a new website soon, along with my articles on him, but it's sort of low on my huge list of to-do websites.
