Page-turner, captivating story about the husband/wife team who operated a trading post on the Navajo Reservation 1914-1918. I had no idea trading posts still operated in the early decades of the 20th century nor exactly the function of a trading post, and I found the relationships with and among the native Americans interesting and challenging. Ken, the husband, was a man of few words but full of wisdom which appeared at critical times.
Fascinating memoir of the wife of the owner of a trading post in the Navajo area around 4 corners back in the 30's or so.
Interesting account of a woman married to a trading post owner in the Navajo country and their life in the 1930s.
