The New Germantown Revival draws on the famous red color and the design elements of the Chief Blanket. The Chief Blanket has a fascinating history and has always been a favorite of many, as recorded by an early trader.

We have this 1853 record of mountain man Alexander Barclay’s “final trading venture, a trip to the Indians of the Platte River area, loaded with one of New Mexico’s prime trade items,

the Navajo blanket...Barclay’s first step in preparation for this expedition was to visit the Navajo Indians, “in order to obtain a quantity of peculiar blankets which they very ingeniously weave

without machinery, and which, from their durability and firm, decided colors are a very good article of trade with other Indians towards the Missouri River North.”” (Hammond:1976)
