W. Ben Hunt has captivated me. With intricate detailed drawings and scetches. His down home lingo about his life with Indian peoples. From the construction of teepee's, tomahawks, headresses, tomtom's, and everything in between. I am sure you will be as enthralled and excited as I was. I have learned and retained so much knowledge I have to recomend it to everyone interested.

If you want a politically correct and modern Native American craft book, this is not it. Though the copyright is 1973, this book has a 50's feel and sketches. However, it is a wealth of information with crafts ranging from leather & rawhide making to building your own dogsled. With a simple change of materials theses scout projects go from Hollywood to historically correct. I found this book to have the best set of instructions and illustrations for making an Eastern style roach headdress despite the instructions calling for manila fibers (I used turkey beards). I highly recommend this book to the Buckskinner or Native enthusiast.

This is an old book, been around for years, but it is still one of the best for authentic methods of making Native American items. This is replacing one I had years ago and learned so much from. A must for my library.

We received the book promptly and were very happy with it! It had some really cool projects and lots of additional information, as well as pictures. Very interesting and informative and we couldn't be happier!

IT IS VERY INFORMANTIVE WELL WORTH BUYING. THE SEV. WAS FAST & EXLLENT QULITAY. AMAZON.COM IS THE BEST. ROBERT F. SCHRAMM

If you are studing books on how to do indian craft work, then this one is just fine.
No complaints. I found it interesting.

Great book with black and white pix for learning to create various Native American (especially plains style) and pioneering crafts from natural materials the old way. Set up in a nice vintage tone and format. Truly a treasure for anyone exploring survival skills, Native heritage or crafting items from nature!!! Highly recommend!

I was very please with the delivery and the condition of this used book. The book was marked 'good', I thought is was in very good condition. It only took a week to be delivered. The projects are well laid out and easy to understand. I would recommend this book to any crafter.

This is really a great book. I have had a copy since I was a teenager. I am not sure where I have it, but if I can't find it, then I will purchase another copy. Amazing book.

This book was wonderful. It came highly recommended. The prompt service on the purchase of this used book was great.
