About the author

Saxton Temple Pope was an American doctor, teacher, author and outdoorsman. He is most famous as the father of modern bow hunting, and for his close relationship with Ishi, the last member of the Yahi tribe and the last known American Indian to be raised largely isolated from Western culture. He continued bowhunting until his death in 1926 from pneumonia.

Reviews

[Paul A · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dr. Saxton Pope's initial forays into experimental archeology in the field of archery are fascinating and unique. He tests and analyzes bows from a wide range of different cultures, including indigenous American, Manchu Chinese, Philippine Igorot and Negrito bows, and many more. He provides detailed descriptions of each, along with notes on their cast, penetrative power with different arrows, and feel. His efforts have clearly paved the way for modern inquiries in the field and are invaluable for quantifying and measuring historical methods and weapons today.
