Document source description
With the completion of the Santa Fe Railroad at the turn of the 20th century, the American Southwest became a tourist destination. Fred Harvey, a British businessman, recognized the potential of this new market and took the opportunity to open a series of hotels, restaurants, and dining cards along the route. Tourism led to a rising interest in American Indian jewelry. This bracelet is typical of pieces sold by the Fred Harvey Company. This inexpensive though elegantly crafted bracelet uses traditional designs but was produced for the fast-growing tourist industry and contains less silver than bracelets the Navajos themselves would have worn.
