A 1907 Craftsman magazine article by Katherine Louise Smith on the Doukhobors, Russian religious exiles who settled in Canada under their leader Peter Verigin. It covers their communal organization, finances, railroad work, agriculture, religion and customs. Photographs show women spinning yarn, weaving on a primitive hand loom, beating flax, harvesting and doing embroidery, but the text says little about textile techniques.
