Can anyone tell me if this blanket is war or post war time period ? To me I believe its a Indian war time frame blanket. But I'm not sure I'm no expert

My apologies, I am attending a conference out West, but from the pics I would say later than ACW. Three keys in determination:
1) Wool should be stiff and coarse
2) This certainly is not an issue blanket, their edges were unbound
3) Need dimensions, looms of the time were not typically large enough to produce in one panel.

I would agree with that this piece is most likely of the IW period.
