Book Witchery Of Archery

Book Witchery of Archery by Maurice Thompson, a complete manual of archery.

This book was the main inspiration for the increase of interest in archery in the US at the beginning of the 20th century. Thompson's writing skills combined with a strong love of the sport, makes this a great read.

A gentle book telling tales of archery in the deep south of USA, poetic yet visually descriptive of the slower life of holiday adventures and the enjoyment shared by two brothers with the bow and arrow during the late 1800's.

Do not be put off this recent edition - the print might be small but the content is excellent for this out of print book. Great bedtime reading.

The documentation of two brothers who go into the woods to escape Yankee persecution after the American Civil War. Living off the land and surviving in the swamps of Florida, they utilise their hand-made bows and tackle.

If you are into archery or the post Civil War, this is a must have. No collection is complete without this timeless classic. The classic 1878 tale of one man's adventures with archery.

A charming, inspiring and educational book for all ages. Softcover reprint, 269 pages, originally published in 1878.
