Kaidab (Kayenta)
The Vanishing American: Kaidab trading post showed striking aspects of life and activity. Marian looked and looked, with mounting delight and wonder.
First there were a number of the shaggy Indian ponies, unhaltered, standing with uplifted heads, and black rolling eyes askance on the mail carrier's car. Several were without saddles, having blankets tied on their backs; one was of a cream color almost pink, with strange light eyes and wonderful long mane and tail; most of them were a reddish bay in color; and there was a fiery little black that took Marian's eye. (Chapter IV)
Down Into the Desert: We rested several days at Kayenta, where I watched the Navajos with ever-growing pity and talked endlessly with the Wetherills.

The Vanishing American: Huge bags of burlap containing wool were being packed into a wagon by Indian freighters. And Indians were lounging around, leaning against the stone wall of the trading post.
