WIDE RUINS and PINE SPRINGS TRADING POSTS
NAU manuscript collection #260
This collection consists of accounting records of Wide Ruins and Pine Springs Trading Posts, both located in the southeastern part of the Navajo Indian Reservation. The Wide Ruins post was established in 1885 at the site of a large prehistoric settlement called Kin Teel, meaning "wide house". Pine Springs started about 1912 higher up in the mountains ten miles east of Wide Ruins. The collection results from ownership of William and Sallie Lippincott who ran both trading posts during the years 1938 to 1949. And throughout all this period, Bill and Jean Cousins assisted the Lippincotts as traders at those posts. The Cousins skill at trading stems from their family background which was that of early day Indian traders in New Mexico.
