"Hunting with the Bow & Arrow" by Saxton T. Pope is a detailed guidebook on archery and hunting, likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores both the historical significance and practical application of bow hunting, focusing particularly on the traditional methods employed by the Yana Indian known as Ishi, who is celebrated as the last member of his tribe and a master bowman. The text combines anthropological insights with hands-on instructions for creating and using one’s own bows and arrows. The opening of the book introduces the narrative of Ishi, highlighting his encounters with the white settlers and his struggle for survival as the last of the Yana people. It paints a vivid picture of his life in hiding, the overcoming of fear when introduced to the modern world, and the subsequent friendships he forms with those who study him. The text transitions smoothly into descriptions of Ishi's hunting techniques and archery methods, which are portrayed as both a way of life and an art form. It emphasizes the intricate skill involved in crafting bows and arrows, while also reflecting on Ishi's character and his observations of nature. This compelling blend of history, craftsmanship, and personal story sets a foundation for readers interested in archery or the cultural heritage of indigenous hunting practices.
