Archery: its theory and practice

This is a reprint of the original 1856 edition. It has been completely reset in new type, so that it's easier to read than other "photocopy" reprints. Horace A. Ford is known as the greatest target archer of all time. He first picked up the bow in 1845, and a mere four years later won the Grand National Archery Meeting held in the United Kingdom. He proceeded to win an amazing, and unmatched, eleven consecutive championships, and a twelfth "comeback" win. His high score - that of 1271 in the Double York Round in 1857 - remained archery's high mark for over 70 years. That this work is the foundation for virtually every subsequent book on archery methodology, there can be little doubt (indeed, Ford's book is even referenced by the Oxford English Dictionary under "self-bow"). Although minor improvements have been made in the past 150 years, the book still stands as a triumph "of a practical Work on Archery by a practical archer."

<p>The Cayuse Was is one of the finest books available on the first of the Indian Wars in Oregon. Out of print for over a century, it is at last available again in a new edition. The book is loved by scholars for its meticulous details and references, but, because it was written by an acclaimed novelist and poet, is also enjoyable for the armchair historian. The Cayuse War was instigated by the massacre of fourteen white men and women by the Cayuse Indians, who were afraid that one of the whites, Dr. Whitman, was intentionally infecting the Cayuses with measles.Rich in historical details about the life of the white settlers and the activities of several Native American tribes, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the difficulties of preparing for war, The Cayuse War is an invaluable document in the history of Oregon.Also included is a facsimile of the Muster Rolls of the soldiers and attaches who served in the Cayuse Indian War.</p>
