Transcript and tapes of interview conducted, Jul 27, 1973, with Amasa Redd concerning his life in San Juan County, Utah.
A Bridge in Time
Amasa Jay Redd (1895-1984), a Mormon, was born in Bluff, San Juan County, Utah. His parents Lemuel Hardison Redd, Jr. and Lucy Zina Lyman were pioneers on the San Juan River. He married Alice Marie Ekins (1895-1985) in 1918. Descendants lived in Utah, Arizona, Texas and New York.
Family of James and Martha Red
James Red, the progenitor of this family group, is believed to have been born in South Carolina between 1775 and 1784, and possibly died by early 1830 in Gwinnett County, Georgia; married Martha Boyet during or before 1809. Some descendants believe that her name was Martha Cora Boyd; others have suggested that her maiden name may have been Boyett or Turner.

The Family of John Topham and Susan Elizabeth Redd Butler

Descendants and relatives lived in Utah, Arizona, California, Oregon, Illinois, New York and elsewhere.
Both Sides of the Bullpen
Between 1880 and 1940, Navajo and Ute families and westward-trending Anglos met in the “bullpens” of southwestern trading posts to barter for material goods. As the products of the livestock economy of Navajo culture were exchanged for the merchandise of an industrialized nation, a wealth of cultural knowledge also changed hands. In Both Sides of the Bullpen, Robert S. McPherson reveals the ways that Navajo tradition fundamentally reshaped and defined trading practices in the Four Corners area of southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado. Drawing on oral histories of Native peoples and traders collected over thirty years of research, McPherson explores these interactions from both pers...
