Summary
This is the story of Billy Gene Malone and the end of an era. Malone lived almost his entire life on the Navajo Reservation working as an Indian trader; the last real indian trader to operate historis Hubbell Trading Post. In 2004 the National Park Service (NPS) launched an investigation targeting Malone, alleging a long list of crimes that literally equated him with the likes of Al Capone. A thought-provoking story of the dark side of a respected branch of the American government, The Case of the Indian Trader will open the eyes of a wide audience.
