Good reading

[Killdeer]

I was just perusing a book about Native bows, arrows and quivers. It is by John Baldwin, and was copyrighted 1999. The writing is a little rough, and I take what he says with a pillar of salt, but the pictures were worth the somewhat hefty price I paid in '05.

I opened it up again after reading about hafting stone heads here. I had some different impressions from what I had read, so I went to look at the artifacts in the book. While doing so, I thought of you guys, and realized that I had seen no mention of the book in these pages. Thought I would share.

 Bows, Arrows & Quivers of the American Frontier by John Baldwin, published by Early American Artistry-Trading Company
P.O. Box 299, West Olive, MI 49460

He has other books out as well, regarding pouches and bags, knives and hawks, etc.

Definately great reading, shell bought the Early knives and beaded sheaths of the American frontier by this author for ideas of some of the collected sheaths a few years ago and your right Killie, it was pricey    :eek:    at the time she bought it but well worth the pics.<><
