Newlyweds Sallie Wagner and Bill Lippincott came to the Navajo
Reservation in 1938. Before they knew it, they owned a trading post
at Wide Ruins, Arizona. The years they spent there were the best of
their lives, and this lively, honest memoir recalls them in detail.
Trading post life combined business with the kinds of experiences
generally associated with anthropological field work. Like many
traders, Sallie Wagner influenced the weavers whose rugs she
purchased. She was one of the traders who persuaded weavers to use
vegetal dyes, leaving a permanent legacy in Navajo weaving.
Tourists discovered Indian reservations in the 1930s, and the
Lippincotts were visited often by friends and strangers alike, many
unable to navigate reservation roads. "This story is a must read
for those interested in the Navajo people in the early days. Sallie
Wagner has managed to catch and retain the essence of what it meant
to be white in a Navajo world that was unbelievably
different."--Edward T. Hall
