About this title

Synopsis

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.

About the Author

Richard C. Berkholz, a native of Missouri, is retired after 34 years in the forestry profession. He currently lives in Durango, Colorado, with his wife Judy. His interest in western history and appreciation of the high desert southwest, combined with his realization that many of the old trading posts of the Four Corners are rapidly disappearing, led him to write this book. He has traveled extensively throughout the Four Corners region, visiting and researching the numerous sites.
