Old Trading Posts of the Four Corners

This book is about trading posts. Old trading posts. Trading posts that are still operating and ones that are long gone without a trace, except for a crumbling wall or foundation. The book describes the present condition of each post, examines its history, and provides directions to even the hard-to-find posts. Indian trading posts are rapidly becoming a thing of the past, and, although many still occupy the original buildings, few of today's so-called trading posts bear any similarity to the working posts of the past. This book is a guide to early-day trading posts established on or around the Navajo, Hopi, and Ute Mountain Ute Reservations.
