Description
Starting in the 1870s, trading posts were where Native Americans interacted with the Anglo world, bartering wool, rugs, baskets and other items they made for goods they needed. Since 1970 Ed Grazda has been searching for and photographing these buildings and in this book the reader is led on a tour showing those that are still functioning all the way to those that have succumbed to the ravages of time and neglect. A Last Glance reminds us of the fascinating relationship and close exchange of culture that once existed between Native Americans and settlers.
