An article from The Craftsman describing the willow baskets of John Hubbard of Ashtabula, Ohio, a deaf self-taught basket maker who developed his own method of weaving willow withes and was killed by a train while working for a manufacturer. It discusses the forms, twisted rims and handles, stains, and household uses of his baskets, and argues that willow basketry suits furniture and village industry.
