Pre-Owned The Lightning Stick-Arrows Wounds and Indian Legends (Hardcover) 9780874172669

9780874172669. Pre-Owned: Good condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Pages: 152. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 152 p. More than simply a history of the bow and arrow, The Lightening Stick brings together a broad range of significant people and events, spiritual usages, medicinal treatments, and an unusual array of subject matter related to the weapon itself. Henrietta Stockel conveys a host of information derived from primary documents and provides readers with a fascinating book. Her descriptive storytelling-serious, humorous, and even gory at times-takes the reader from modern uses of bows and arrows (including a previously little-known incident in the atomic city of Los Alamos, New Mexico) to an early era of western history, before guns changed the frontier forever.
