Out of print for almost twenty years, the only book published on American axes is once again available. Although the axe has been mans chief tool since prehistoric times, its evolution was slow until the American wilderness sparked a technological revolution resulting in efficient and varied axe forms to perform a multitude of felling and building operations. This book is a must for all collectors. It contains a unique roster of all known American axe manufacturers since the 18th Century, a glossary and notes on the care and use of axes. Soft cover, 8 ½ X 11, 152 pages. Written by Henry J. Kauffman.
