(More customer reviews)Thank you to the author, Paul Berkowitz, for sharing his experience with us. For those of us that know Billy Malone, we are grateful for the details of his ordeal. It is truly sad that within our own National Park System, such a tragedy was allowed and fostered by those in control. Of all of our governmental agencies, we expected our National Park System to be honorable and trustworthy ... heroic. What a disappointment to discover that this agency is corrupt and selfserving. Bill Malone was the reason so many of us went to the Hubbell Trading Post. He has always treated his customers and his community with nothing less than high respect. His devotion to the trading post and it's renouned profile within the Navajo Arts and Crafts world were priceless.
What happened to him was wrong ... not only wrong, but criminal.

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 historic Hubbell Trading Post. In 2004, the National Park Service (NPS) launched an investigation targeting Malone, alleging a long list of crimes that were similar to Al Capone. In 2005, federal agent Paul Berkowitz was assigned to take over the year-and-a-half-old case. His investigation uncovered serious problems with the original allegations, raising questions about the integrity of his supervisors and colleagues as well as high-level NPS managers. In an intriguing account of whistle-blowing, Berkowitz tells how he bypassed his chain-of-command and delivered his findings directly to the Office of the Inspector General.
