Ludlam Waters traveled from Philadelphia to Fort Wingate, Arizona
Territory, in 1866 to marry. When she returned to Pennsylvania in the
1870s, she brought back this serape-made to be worn wrapped around the
shoulders. The serape must have been woven about the same time that
Adelaide lived at the Fort. This was a time of great change in the lives
of the Navajo. Between 1862 and 1868 they were interned at Fort Sumner and
the Bosque Redondo. As their traditional lifestyles changed, so too did
their weavings. New materials were introduced, such as yarns produced in
Germantown, Pennsylvania, and new designs emerged taking advantage in the
broad color palette of the Germantown yarns. The bands of crosses and
chevrons are typical of this emerging new style. Want to know the 'technical'
