Book Reviews of The Fighting Tomahawk: An Illustrated Guide to Using the Tomahawk and Long Knife as Weapons
Book Review: "A Welcome Addition to a Scholar's Bookshelf"
Summary: 5 Stars
In the field of Museum Education, we are often challenged by the public to "Tell us what it really looked like". Fortunately the history of the American Frontier of the 18th century is a well-documented period of vast cultural conflict. Col. McLemore has done an excellent job of taking first-hand accounts of close combat during this period and translating them into an imminently useful book. The Native people of North America were formidable warriors, and the Ulster Scots, Englishmen, Germans, Spanish, and French peoples they frequently went to war with or against had, for each nation, a rich and vibrant martial culture of their own. The tomahawk, more than any other weapon, is a symbol of the life-and-death clashes that occurred between these people. Weapons much like the tomahawk can be found in graves from Eastern Europe dating as far back as the 4th century BC. I applaud Col. McLemore for the engaging honesty of the text, and the richness of his drawings. The ancient Greeks, the Vikings, the Scots, and the Crackers of the Frontier would all approve. If anyone wants to study the truth behind the phrase "Bury the Hatchet", this is the one book you must read. Bryan Simpers- Museum Education Professional
