Description
In 1925 the Harvey company collaborated with Pueblos in the southwest to establish “Indian Detours.” Passengers embarked from their hotels between the Grand Canyon to Santa Fe and rode in specialized cars through the wilderness panoramas of Northern New Mexico. The drivers and couriers who hosted these trips were trained for months in order to lead these tours. Hear the story of Charlie Seery who worked as an Indian Detour driver, as told by his son Charles.
Charles Seery Jr. was born in Belen, NM. As a civil engineer, he flourished in a career that led him around the world. In retirement, he has served as director of greeters for Texas Panhandle Heritage Foundation producer of TEXAS Outdoor Musical.
