The book tells the story of the Wetherill family, who were traders with the Navajo people in the early 20th century. The Wetherills were instrumental in opening up the Navajo reservation to outsiders and played a significant role in the development of the area.The book begins by introducing the Wetherill family and their background. The family had a long history of trading with Native American tribes and were well-respected in the area. The book then goes on to describe the Wetherill's interactions with the Navajo people and their efforts to establish a trading post in Kayenta, Arizona.The book also covers the Wetherill's efforts to preserve Navajo culture and history. They were instrumental in collecting and preserving Navajo artifacts and were among the first to recognize the artistic value of Navajo rugs and jewelry.Traders to the Navajos is a fascinating look at the history of the American Southwest and the role that traders played in the development of the area. It is a well-written and engaging book that will appeal to anyone interested in Native American history, the history of the American West, or the history of trade and commerce in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
