Book Review: Native American Blowguns by Douglas S. Meyer

Abstract

Honestly, before I got to know Douglas S. Meyer, I had no idea that blowguns existed in North America. They are well known in South America, particularly for being used with poisoned darts, but the ones from the Southeast of the United States were completely new to me. Meyer is a very experienced expert on primitive skills who studied this weapon for more than 30 years. Eight years ago, he published an article about the Native American blowgun on EXARC: https://exarc.net/issue-2013-3/at/hunting-cane-traditional-cherokee-blo…
