American Indian Archery
by
Reginald & Gladys Laubin |
|
|
|
"There are many who believe the bow to be
quite recent in America, for there seems to be no evidence of it in the
earliest cliff dwellings, although it does show up in later ones. It
would seem to be of Asiatic origin but was brought over in later
migrations, rather than in the early ones. The only sinew backed or
sinew lined bows were found in North America, among Plains, Rocky
Mountain, and California tribes." |
|
Lots of COLOR pictures, information about tribal construction methods,
hunting from horseback and much more! |

 |
|
Upon acquiring seven hundred acres of rocky, overgrazed rangeland, Jim
Hamm dubbed a tremendous white-tailed buck he encountered as Elvis,
"because he crated such excitement whenever he was spotted."
|
|
With a keen eye for the natural world and a sweeping sense of the
history which shaped it, Hamm tells the story of Elvis and the gradual
recovery of his ranch. He brings to life the waters tumbling down
to a spring-fed creek, dark cedar and live oak thickets, blistering
summers and snow-swept winters, migrating Sandhill cranes,
Senor Rattlesnake, coyotes, and assorted human characters who experience
the Hideout, as his ranch is called. Ancient hunters, Comanches,
and longbow armed Medieval warriors leap from the book , as does Ishi,
the "last wild Indian" who stands now as the grandfather of archery in
this country.
|
|
But most of all this is about the quest for Elvis, the crafty whitetail
monarch whose presences fills the pages. Few ever know a while
animal the way Hamm comes to know Elvis, and few will ever forget their
final meeting.
