The Native American items in the auction were collected by John Wyer and Martha Summerhayes during the last quarter of the 19th century. Her book, "Vanished Arizona" was written as a reminiscence of her experience traveling in the west with her husband. The Summerhayes traveled to Arizona with other Eighth Infantry officers and their families in the summer of 1874. They continued to travel throughout the Midwest over the next quarter century.
