The History of Native American Split Ash Potato Baskets

The History of Native American Ash Splint Potato Baskets represents the first time that the history of the iconic potato basket has been documented. These baskets are a familiar sight in northern Maine and western New Brunswick where they originated, yet little has been known about their origins prior to this research. In the book, Dr. Winslow also presents a history of potato farming in Aroostook County and a description of how Native American potato baskets are made.
