Otis Tufton Mason's work: "North American bows, arrows, and quivers", despite over 120 years since its publication, is still relevant today. Its descriptions and high-quality illustrations of bows, arrows and quivers will introduce the reader to the world of weapons used by the original inhabitants of North America. A very big advantage of these descriptions is that they refer to original specimens that were produced for hunting and combat, and not for sale to tourists.The book will interest not only readers interested in the culture of the original inhabitants of North America but also those who are passionate about the traditional bow - just like the one who writes these words.
