NEZ PERCE BOW
NEW: We have bows from MGM Movies 1950's to 1960 made by this artist. These are more prop bows than useable bows. Here is one.

This bow (above) is a replica of a bow made by the Nez Perce warrior Yellow Wolf for his friend, L.V. McWhorter who would later publish Yellow Wolf's autobiography. As the first battle of the 1877 conflict unfolded at White bird on June 17, 1877, the only weapon that Yellow Wolf had was his hunting bow, replicated here. Six red stripes with black borders decorate the bow.
