Sinopse

The Witchery of Archery, by Maurice Thompson, was originally published in 1878 and is considered America',s classic treatise on the subject of archery. It can be compared to Izaak Walton',s legendaryáfishing treatise, The Compleat Angler. This new edition, from Incandescence Press, includes a new introduction, notes, and author bio, as well as a beautiful new type setting that closely replicates the 1878 original.Maurice Thompson was considered, in his own time, among the most important authors of the New South in the United States. He grew up in North Georgia, fought for the Confederacy as a teenager during the Civil War, and moved north to settle in Indiana during the period of Reconstruction. His life was indelibly colored by the adventures he and his brother shared in their youth,áhunting with longbows in the swampy wildernesses of Florida and Georgia.áThe Witchery of Archery, which recounted these adventures and inspired America',s first archery boom, wove together Thompson',sáunique literary, poetic, narrative, and sporting talentsáinto theirámost enduring form. The book was an instant hit throughout the United States when it was published, and has enjoyed a cult reputation within the American archery community ever since.ThisáIncandescence Press edition of The Witchery of Archery containsáall of the book',sáoriginal illustrations and text, including the full Appendix, as well as anáadditional chapter (Chapter XVII) that was added toáthe 1879 Second Edition.
