Good Overview for the Novice,
This review is from: American Axes: A Survey of Their Development and Their Makers (Paperback)
If you are just starting to collect or are merely interested in the tools Americans used during the pioneer days, this book is a good start. It explains the types of axes used and the various functions a particular axe performed. It also lists American axe and edge-tool makers of the 1800-1900's. Simple to understand and enough information to give you a good foundation of knowledge, with a bibliography to help you further your research. Every library that has a good pioneer selection should include this book.

This review is from: American Axes: A Survey of Their Development and Their Makers (Paperback)
There are so few books written about the axe but this book makes the search well worth the effort. I collect axes and so does my brother and although I purchased the book for him I'm going to keep it and buy him another copy. Thanks to the author we now have some much appreciated history on these amazing tools and the makers.
