Indian Cradles of California and the Western Great Basin

Native American basket weaver, scholar, and author, Justin Farmer, gives us a thorough study of Indian Cradles, Cradle Boards, and Cradle Baskets as created by the Indians of California from north Baja California to the California-Oregon border, and along the eastern fringes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, from the Oregon border to Death Valley. Mr. Farmer has conducted extensive research into the extant cradles of California and the Western Great Basin and has reviewed and documented the cradle making characteristics of more than twenty-six tribes. In this book he has summarized the results of his research so that the serious Indian cradle board student might benefit from his efforts. A very nice book. Profusely illustrated with color photos. Some copies are signed by the author (please specify if you want one of these). Hardbound w/dustjacket: 206 pages: 7.25 x 10.25"
