J.L.Hubbell Trading Post---important as a family home [and trading post] of a man that worked with many tribes, with the intention of bettering their existance, as they made the difficult transition from the 1600's to the 1900's way of surviving. This was an Easterner that fell in love with the Indian people and married a Spanish " Don's" daughter, raised a family--and their families--with the intention of 'making relations between white and red peoples work!' He made friends, raised sheep, made a lot of money and bettered the lives of many---white and red. He and his family are buried on a hill, behind the family home, that is adjacent to but not on the Historic Site--it's on Navaho Nation Land and is held sacred by the Navaho people to this day. Posted by Picasa
