      Alaska Basketry - V. V. Cavana

      Introduction

      Declaring itself to the public through this, its first publication, the Beaver Club seeks to place itself in that group of idealists that not only believes in dreams, but also believes that by patient, sincere and reverent effort, dreams may be made to come true.

      There is a dream that many have held and toward the realization of which many have labored—and it is the dream of a thing made glorious through the patient, perceiving labor of those who produce it.
