Summary: Good reading if you are interested in the subject!
Comment: Very informative, very interesting. I am familiar with the Harvey House, and what I didn't realize was that once the original artifacts were sold that the Harvey House influenced the types of arts and crafts that were being made, even the designs, and the size, based on the fact that tourists were only able to carry items of certain size. Even colors were influenced by the Harvey Company. I remember the Harvey House women in Newton, Kansas. They wore starched uniforms and looked very nice, almost like nurses. This book was not only informative, but it evoked memories. Highly recommended. It gave me a sense of sadness that all of these artifacts were collected to be sold. This was big business. Harvey House was feeding a voracious appetite for things "Indian." At the same time, they were helping to sustain the Native American people who were trying to cope with a changing world. Sam L.
