Master snowshoe makers Brian J. Theriault, 62, and his father Edmond Theriault, 97, published “Leaving Tracks — A Maine Tradition” in 2014. The book details the art of traditional snowshoe making. Now the Theriaults, along with Joan Theriault, 85, who is Brian’s mother and Edmond’s wife, have published “Brown Ash Baskets — A North American Tradition.” The family has been making ash baskets together for more than half a century.
