Purchased for Kindle Fire HD

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2013

I discovered this book in a sideways sort of way. While working with Native American Rhetoric as a English graduate student, I read Theodora Kroeber's book "Ishi in Two Worlds" the account of the last known member of the Yahi tribe. During Ishi's final years, he developed a close friendship with his physician, Dr. Pope. Kroeber spoke of their mutual love for archery. I wondered if this could be the Pope of the Pope and Young Club who developed the scoring system for wild game taken with bow and arrow. The answer is yes, and that led me to this book. The book contains a brief account of Ishi written by Pope and discussions on the making of a traditional bow, arrows, quiver, and even arrow heads - all skills that were demonstrated to him by Ishi. While researching which of the several versions floating around would be the best purchase, I found several versions that excluded the photographs and diagrams that Pope included in the original book. This Kindle version (yellow and blue-gray horizontal pattern on front with the title in a framed box) includes all the photographs and diagrams. The Kindle price was less than any of the print copies available and the book has been easily accessable on my reader.

Praise for a fantastic book

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

In 1914, 49 year old Ishi, the last of the Yani tribe walked out of the woods near Oroville, California. Ishi was the last of his people and he was the last "Wild Indian" in America. Anthropologists throughout America wanted to learn as much as they could from this wild man and he was soon living and working (as a janitor) at the University of California, Berkeley. Having no immunities to most disease that we are used to, he spent much time in a nearby hospital where Saxton Pope was a teacher. Anyone who has ever learned of the hardships of Ishi's life can't help but remember this fascinating historical figure.

This book however, is not about Ishi although his teachings and skill are an important part of what you will read. This book is about what the title says "Hunting with the bow and arrow". Saxton Pope learned to use a bow from Ishi and carried the love of bow hunting for the rest of his life. This book covers everything from making your first bow to killing your first Grizzly in a pleasant and easy to read style that keeps you reading and wanting more. You can and will learn secrets that you would have never thought of , secrets that before Ishi, had been so completely forgotten that Dr. Pope had to reintroduce the techniques to other Native American Tribes.

I am not a hunter, I have never used a bow but I have a great love of the outdoors and I loved every moment of this book. I feel like I have learned enough to supply food for myself and my family if the need arises. Along with the wealth of information I gained by reading Hunting with the bow and arrow, I feel that I have also stood witness to a wonderful adventure and lived through the excitement of the hunt.

Even though, once again, there are no diagrams or photos with the Kindle edition, Hunting with the Bow and Arrow will never be removed from my Kindle.

Excellent book on traditional archery

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2020

This book should be in the personal library of every series student of archery. What Saxon Pope and Art Young learned and developed is still as useful today as it was in their day. Every modern archery will still benefit greatly from this book.

An engaging classic of archery literature

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

An enjoyable and engaging classic of archery literature, although definitely of its time. The book documents in a lively the exploits of the author in his engagement with Ishi, the last of the Yani Indians, but also of his archery and hunting ideas and exploits. It contains ideas galore concerning Native Americans and their hunting technology, archery, bowmaking, early American archery, and bowhunting.

Primarily for those interested in archery and the history of archery this is a book well worth reading and imbued with good humoured dedication to craft and life.

Every traditional archer should read this book.

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a classic for archers, especially those who are interested in traditional archery. The first section of the book is absolutely fascinating in itself, as it is a first hand account of one of the last wild indians in the United States. The rest of the book is more informational and a bit drier but still written by a true world class master of traditional archery and old fashioned hunting.

Excellent Book

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

First of all, the seller was wonderful. The book arrived very quickly. The book itself is great. Anyone interested in the sport of bowhunting should read this book. The book provides the captivating story of how Dr. Saxton Pope and Ishi became friends, provides technical details relating to traditional archery, and contains many great hunting stories. Highly recommended.

Archery in the early 1900s in the US

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2015

A book about a physician who was a man who defined hunting for many of us. The book spends much time addressing Ishi, the Indian Dr. Pope worked with for a number of years. Archers interested in the history of archery in this country will enjoy reading words written by Saxton Pope.

Classical true story.

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

Dr. Pope wrote of a bygone era, when hunting was popular and access to land was free. He explored the history of archery and scientifically tested ancient and "modern" equipment. He learned the ways of a stone-age hunter with greatest respect. The book gives a beautiful view of a sport and a unique period in history. I read this first when it was new and hunted for a dozen years with my bows.

Dreadful production of an excellent book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

This edition is appalling. The book itself is fascinating (I bought it for my Kindle after the disappointment of the edition under review). It claims to be illustrated but at the relevant places in the text there are no pictures but only a caption of what illustrations should appear! The text itself is minute and very densely laid out; the overall effect makes it very uncomfortable to read, or more accurately it makes it impossible to read.
Do not buy this edition.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2012

Verified Purchase

Plenty of detail for keen archers - from making your own bow, arrows and even bowstring, to using them on targets and game. (Budding Robin Hoods please note, that using bows and arrows for shooting animals is now illegal in the UK.)

Although not an archer, I found this book enjoyable, as it gives an excellent picture of the first part of the twentieth century and will appeal to readers who enjoyed works by Horace Kephart.

Fragwürdig '

Reviewed in Germany on June 3, 2008

Verified Purchase

An Saxton Popes Bedeutung für die Geschichte des traditionellen Bogenschießens im 20. Jahrhundert kann kaum ein Zweifel bestehen. Der Ruf dieser Koryphäe des Bogensports und seiner Werke verleitet wohl manch einen dazu, sich auf Kosten seiner Anhänger zu bereichern ' wie es hier der Fall zu sein scheint.
Popes Text gilt in den USA als gemeinfrei und kann aus verschiedenen Quellen bezogen werden. Das machten sich die Herausgeber zunutze, um ihn gedruckt und mit Softcover versehen in den Handel zu bringen. Satzspiegel und Seitenzählung haben dabei nichts mit dem Original gemeinsam (es handelt sich also weder um einen "Reprint" noch um ein Faksimile) und es fehlen sämtliche Illustrationen.
Zwei Sterne also dafür, dass Popes Werk selbst in dieser Form noch lesenswert ist. Wer nur auf den Text aus ist, kann zugreifen, alle anderen lassen es besser sein.
