Probably more than most of his fellow traders, he had a strong interest in Navajo culture. He published in the local newspaper and other periodicals and compiled many of his pieces into a book manuscript. His subjects were Navajos he knew and traded with, their stories of historic events such as the Long Walk, and descriptions of their culture as he, an outsider without academic training, understood it.Indian tradersNew MexicoShiprock RegionHistoryTrading postsNew MexicoShiprock RegionHistoryNavajo weaversNew MexicoShiprock RegionHistoryNavajo IndiansNew MexicoShiprock RegionSocial life and customsNavajo IndiansNew MexicoShiprock RegionHistoryShiprock Region (N.M.)Social life and customsShiprock Region (N.M.)HistoryIndian tradersHistory.Trading postsHistory.Navajo weaversHistory.Navajo IndiansSocial life and customs.Navajo IndiansHistory.979.1004/9726Evans Will1877-19541248897McPherson Robert S.1947-801369Woods Susan E(Susan Evans),1952-983867MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910146262203321Along Navajo Trails2894379UNINA
