There, no doubt, the bow was used to its greatest per- fection, and it decided the fate of nations. The crossbow and the matchlock had supplanted the longbow when Columbus sailed for the New World. It was, therefore, a distinct surprise to the 9 10 Hunting with the Bow Arrow first explorers of America that the natives used the bow and arrow so effectively. In fact, the sword and the horse, combined with the white man’s superlative self-assurance, won the con- test over the aborigines more than the primitive blunderbuss of the times. The bow and arrow was still more deadly than the gun. With the gradual extermination of the Amer- ican Indian, the westward march of civilization, and the improvement in firearms, this contest became more and more unequal, and the bow disappeared from the land. The last primitive Indian archer was discovered in California in the year 1911. When the white pioneers of California de- scended through the northern part of that State by the Lassen trail, they met with a tribe of In- dians known as the Yana, or Yahi. That is the name they called themselves. Their neighbors http://booksiread.org 11 called them the Nozi, and the white men called them the Deer Creek or Mill Creek Indians. Dif- ferent from the other tribes of this territory, the Yana would not submit without a struggle to the white man’s conquest of their lands. The Yana were hunters and warriors. The usual California natives were yellow in color, fat and inclined to be peaceable. The Yana were smaller of stature, lithe, of reddish bronze com- plexion, and instead of being diggers of roots, they lived by the salmon spear and the bow. Their range extended over an area south of Mount Lassen, east of the Sacramento River, for a dis- tance of fifty miles. From the earliest settlement of the whites, hostilities existed between them. This resulted in definitely organized expeditions against these Indians, and the annual slaughter of hundreds. The last big round-up of Mill Creek Indians 12 Hunting with the Bow Arrow occurred in 1872, when their tribe was sur- prised at its seasonal harvest of acorns. Upon this occasion a posse of whites killed such a number of natives that it is said the creek was damned with dead bodies. An accurate account of these days may be obtained from Watter- man’s paper on the Yana Indians. [1][Footnote 1: Vol. 13, No. 2, -Am. Archaeology and Ethnology-.] During one of the final raids upon the Yana, a little band of Indian women and children hid in a cave. Here they were discovered and mur- dered in cold blood. One of the white scout- ing party laconically stated that he used his re- volver to blow out their brains because the rifle spattered up the cave too much. So it came to pass, that from two or three thousand people, the Yana were reduced to less than a dozen who escaped extermination. These http://booksiread.org 13 were mainly women, old men and children. This tribal remnant sought the refuge of the impen- etrable brush and volcanic rocks of Deer Creek Canyon. Here they lived by stealth and cun- ning. Like wild creatures, they kept from sight until the whites quite forgot their existence. It became almost a legend that wild Indians lived in the Mount Lassen district. From time to time ranchers or sheep herders reported that their flocks had been molested, that signs of In- dians had been found or that arrowheads were discovered in their sheep. But little credence was given these rumors until the year 1908, when an electric power company undertook to run a survey line across Deer Creek Canyon with the object of constructing a dam. One evening, as a party of linemen stood on a log at the edge of the deep swift stream de- bating the best place to ford, a naked Indian 14 Hunting with the Bow Arrow rose up before them, giving a savage snarl and brandishing a spear. In an instant the survey party disbanded, fell from the log, and crossed the stream in record-breaking time. When they stopped to get their breath, the Indian had dis- appeared. This was the first appearance of Ishi, [2] [Footnote 2: Ishi is pronounced ”E-she.”] the Yana. Next morning an exploring expedition set out to verify the excited report of the night before. The popular opinion was that no such wildman existed, and that the linemen had been seeing things. One of the group offered to bet that no signs of Indians would be found. As the explorers reached the slide of volcanic boulders where the apparition of the day before had disappeared, two arrows flew past them. They made a run for the top of the slide and reached it just in time to see two Indians van- http://booksiread.org 15 ish in the brush. They left behind them an old white-haired squaw, whom they had been car- rying. She was partially paralyzed, and her legs were bound in swaths of willow bark, seemingly in an effort to strengthen them. The old squaw was wrinkled with age, her hair was cropped short as a sign of mourning, and she trembled with fear. The white men ap- proached and spoke kindly to her in Spanish. But she seemed not to understand their words, and apparently expected only death, for in the past to meet a white man was to die. They gave her water to drink, and tried to make her call back her companions, but without avail. Further search disclosed two small brush huts hidden among the laurel trees. So cleverly concealed were these structures that one could pass within a few yards and not discern them. In one of the huts acorns and dried salmon 16 Hunting with the Bow Arrow had been stored; the other was their habita- tion. There was a small hearth for indoor cook- ing; bows, arrows, fishing tackle, a few aborig- inal utensils and a fur robe were found. These were confiscated in the white man’s character- istic manner. They then left the place and re- turned to camp.

  • The Bow and Arrow in the Book of Mormon
    The Bow and Arrow in the Book of Mormon William J. Hamblin The distinctive characteristic of missile weapons used in combat is that a warrior throws or propels them to injure enemies at a distance.1 The great variety of missiles invented during the thousands of years of recorded warfare can be divided into four major technological categories, according to the means of propulsion. The simplest, including javelins and stones, is propelled by unaided human muscles. The second technological category — which uses mechanical devices to multiply, store, and transfer limited human energy, giving missiles greater range and power — includes bows and slings. Beginning in China in the late twelfth century and reaching Western Europe by the fourteenth century, the development of gunpowder as a missile propellant created the third category. In the twentieth century, liquid fuels and engines have led to the development of aircraft and modern ballistic missiles, the fourth category. Before gunpowder weapons, all missiles had fundamental limitations on range and effectiveness due to the lack of energy sources other than human muscles and simple mechanical power. The Book of Mormon mentions only early forms of pregunpowder missile weapons. The major military advantage of missile weapons is that they allow a soldier to injure his enemy from a distance, thereby leaving the soldier relatively safe from counterattacks with melee weapons. But missile weapons also have some signicant disadvantages. First, a missile weapon can be used only once: when a javelin or arrow has been cast, it generally cannot be used again. (Of course, a soldier may carry more than one javelin or arrow.) Second, control over a missile weapon tends to be limited; once a soldier casts a missile, he has no further control over the direction it will take.

    J Forensic Sci, January 2018, Vol. 63, No. 1 doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.13502 PAPER Available online at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com PATHOLOGY/BIOLOGY LokMan Sung,1,2 M.D.; Kilak Kesha,3 M.D.; Jeffrey Hudson,4,5 M.D.; Kelly Root,1 and Leigh Hlavaty,1,2 M.D. Morphology of Modern Arrowhead Tips on Human Skin Analog* ABSTRACT: Archery has experienced a recent resurgence in participation and has seen increases in archery range attendance and in chil- dren and young adults seeking archery lessons. Popular literature and movies prominently feature protagonists well versed in this form of weap- onry. Periodic homicide cases in the United States involving bows are reported, and despite this and the current interest in the field, there are no manuscripts published on a large series of arrow wounds. This experiment utilizes a broad selection of modern arrowheads to create wounds for comparison. While general appearances mimicked the arrowhead shape, details such as the presence of abrasions were greatly influenced by the design of the arrowhead tip. Additionally, in the absence of projectiles or available history, arrowhead injuries can mimic other instruments causing penetrating wounds. A published resource on arrowhead injuries would allow differentiation of causes of injury by forensic scientists. KEYWORDS: forensic science, forensic pathology, compound bow, arrow, broadhead, morphology Archery, defined as the art, practice, and skill of shooting arrows While investigations into the penetrating ability of arrows with a bow, is indelibly entwined in human history. Accounts of have been published (5), this article is the first large-scale study the bow and arrow can be chronicled throughout human civiliza- evaluating the cutaneous morphology of modern broadhead tion from its origins as a primary hunting tool, migration to utiliza- arrow tip injuries in a controlled environment.

WORCESTER* The weapons used by the American Indians were much the same among all the tribes and regions. Most common were the bow and arrow, the war club, and' the spear. These arms differed in type and quality an:iong various tribes, partiy because of the materials used, and partly because of the lack of uniformity in native workmanship. Bows were made of various woods as well as strips of ra:m and buffalo horn, and ranged in length from about five to three feet. Arrows also were varied, some being of reed, and others of highly polished wood. Points were of bone, flint, or fire-hardened wood. The coming ·of Europeans to North America eventually caused a modification of native arms. In some regions European weapons were adopted and used almost exclu~ sively. Elsewhere they were used to a varying degree, -depending on their availability and effectiveness under local conditions.

NATIVE-MADE STONE TOOLS OF THE FLINT HILLS For more than 13,000 years, people have been living in the Flint Hills region. For most of this period, their primary material for making tough, durable tools was the flint or “chert” stone from which the Flint Hills derive their name. The use of bone, wood, antler, and limestone was also important, but the most durable and preserved aspects of these early technologies are the chipped stone tools and the debitage or flakes left from the manufacture of those tools. The economies of the prehistoric cultural groups who lived in the Flint Hills were diverse, changing through time and adjusting to the seasons and resource availability.

  • 2021 Guidelines for Those Authorized with a Permit to Modify Archery
    Guidelines For Those Authorized With The Permit to Modify Archery Equipment A person who has obtained the Permit to Modify Archery Equipment (PTMAE) authorization is required to adhere to the following regulations as adopted by the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission. 1. A “Permit to Modify Archery Equipment” wallet card, valid hunting license and bow and arrow license must be in the hunter’s possession while in the field. 2. The “Permit to Modify Archery Equipment” allows a person with a disability to use modified archery tackle that supports the bow, and draws, holds and releases the string to accommodate the individual disability (arrows, however, are not exempt, and still need to meet current requirements for the archery season as defined in the annual regulations). Crossbows may not be used during the archery season. 3. Hunters must comply with all laws and regulations. 4. The permit holder must have a companion to help with aspects of the hunt such as bow set-up, dressing and transporting killed game animals. 5. The companion must also assist the permit holder by hunting (by the legal use of archery equipment only) a game animal that has been wounded by the permit holder when the hunter with a disability is unable to pursue and kill the wounded animal. 6. A companion used in this situation must: 1) be at least 15 years of age; 2) fulfill eligibility requirement necessary to purchase a Montana hunting license AND a bow and arrow license; OR 3) have at least a valid Montana conservation license and bow and arrow license.

  • A Native History of Kentucky
    A Native History Of Kentucky by A. Gwynn Henderson and David Pollack Selections from Chapter 17: Kentucky in Native America: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia edited by Daniel S. Murphree Volume 1, pages 393-440 Greenwood Press, Santa Barbara, CA. 2012 1 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW As currently understood, American Indian history in Kentucky is over eleven thousand years long. Events that took place before recorded history are lost to time. With the advent of recorded history, some events played out on an international stage, as in the mid-1700s during the war between the French and English for control of the Ohio Valley region. Others took place on a national stage, as during the Removal years of the early 1800s, or during the events surrounding the looting and grave desecration at Slack Farm in Union County in the late 1980s. Over these millennia, a variety of American Indian groups have contributed their stories to Kentucky’s historical narrative. Some names are familiar ones; others are not. Some groups have deep historical roots in the state; others are relative newcomers. All have contributed and are contributing to Kentucky's American Indian history. The bulk of Kentucky’s American Indian history is written within the Commonwealth’s rich archaeological record: thousands of camps, villages, and town sites; caves and rockshelters; and earthen and stone mounds and geometric earthworks. After the mid-eighteenth century arrival of Europeans in the state, part of Kentucky’s American Indian history can be found in the newcomers’ journals, diaries, letters, and maps, although the native voices are more difficult to hear.
