Bridles of the Americas traces the evolution and use of silver bridles as well as gorgets, pectorals, hairplates and concha belts, all of which were first obtained through trade networks, and later Indians learned to make themselves. In this volume are 500 images of silver bridles from museums and private collections as well as depictions in ledger drawings and historic photos of these bridles in use by the Plains people.
