Bark Canoes & Skin Boats Of Na(ISBN=9781560982968) rb mobi 在线 下载 lit txt 网盘 pdf

The bark canoes of the North American Indians, particularly

those of birchbark, were among the most highly developed manually

propelled primitive watercraft. They could be used to carry heavy

loads in shallow streams but were light enough to be hauled long

distances over land. Built with Stone Age tools from available

materials, their design, size, and appearance were varied to suit

the many requirements of their users. Upon arrival in North

America, European settlers began using the native-made craft for

traveling through the wilderness. Even today, canoes are based on

these ancient designs. This fascinating guide combines historical

background with instructions for constructing one. Author Edwin

Tappan Adney, born in 1868, devoted his life to studying canoes and

was practically the sole scholar in his field. His papers and

research have been assembled by a curator at the Smithsonian

Institution, and illustrated with black-and-white line drawings,

diagrams, and photos.

Included here are

measurements, detailed drawings, construction methods, and models.

The book covers canoes from Newfoundland to the Pacific Ocean, as

well as umiaks and kayaks from the Arctic.
