Cheyenne influenced project
« on: November 10, 2021, 08:47:22 am »
So I have, in a fit of injudicious generosity, loaned out almost all my reference books on Native American archery, including the big, beautiful coffee table book from the Grayson Collection. It is going on 4 years since I have seen those books and the person that has them is ducking my calls.

Someone wants to make a Cheyenne bow and I want to be able to show her some examples. Could you folks with the Jim Hamm books (and any of the others) snap pics of the illustrations of Cheyenne bows and send me those images? Meanwhile, I am going to try to dig up my contact at the University of Missouri in Colombia and see if I can have her forward some images from their collection.

Thanks, folks. Much appreciated.

Sad, I have lent out reference books and videos that never came back, after several years passed the recipients have forgotten that they ever received the material and claim I never gave it to them in the first place.

A Plains  style bow.  That's pretty much it.

Yeah, that's one of the books that I loaned out to this person. You can't touch that book for less than about $350 now.

$350, wow.  A great little book, my friend has a copy(his own though, not borrowed off me thankfully). I was always planning to buy myself a copy, but never got around to it.

Its still in print, at a regular price, there is one catch...    only the German language edition.
