James, George Wharton. How to Make Indian and Other Baskets. Pasadena: privately printed by author, 1903. 8vo, cloth with gilt front and spine, 138 pp. plus appendices and ads. Illustrated with both drawings and photographs. James was the epitome of the self-made American, being born of commoner family in Lincolnshire and emigrating to America in 1881.

It has been said that the Native peoples of the Southwest had no more supportive and sympathetic friend than James.
