From the Introduction-
"...the Navajo blankets are peculiarly attractive to those who become familiar with their remarkable qualities and very interesting history. Indeed they are unique among Indian products, and may be said to stand aloof from all the others. Made by only one tribe, they have characteristics that no other people try to imitate; and at this time are attracting probably more attention than any other articles of Indian manufacture.
