The success of todays American Indian silversmith follows a pathway
blazed by the silver Indian jewelry makers that came beforethose
who brought the raw silver, channeled it, worked it, and made it
profitable. In a large sense, the Fred Harvey name built the
structure upon which many of today's Southwestern Indian silver and
art traditions survive. This book's comprehensive study utilizes
several private collections and hundreds of specimens, the best of
which were painstakingly measured, weighed and photographed for the
book. With nearly 100 images of SW Indian jewelry supplemented by
early 1900s Harvey Company Photostint postcards, this book paints a
vivid and colorful picture of life in Americas southwestern
frontier. Included is a significantly researched timeline and "tips
& tricks" to clarify the historical subject. The many conjoined
facts and historical research discoveries provide a fresh vantage
from which to understand the complex world of early silver Indian
jewelry and its champion, Fred Harvey Jewelry.
