Montgomery - Native American crafts and skills: a fully illustrated guide to wilderness living and survival

My appreciation goes to my wife and family for their help and patience, those individuals that helped in my research, and Horizon Publishers for their part in making this a successful book.

The priceless works of art on the front and back of this book belong to George Two Hawk Knowlden, a good friend of mine and an expert in the crafts and history of the Crow tribe.
