  • This undated photograph was taken of Lizzie Skitty and Will Driver on the front porch of a log cabin in the Big Cove area of Cherokee, North Carolina. A large white oak basket is hanging from the edge roof. Such baskets could be used to gather vegetables from the field or garden, or to transport dry foodstuffs to or from market. A number of ladderback chairs are also on the porch.
