Peterson, well known and respected for his many works on historical weaponry, produced a real gem with this publication. Well illustrated and clearly written, it is surprisingly thorough in its coverage of the many variations of tomahawks. Even though it is now more than 50 years old, it is still regarded as the definitive work on the subject. Hard to find at a reasonable price (even in the 1994 reprint edition!), it is nonetheless an indispensable resource for anyone studying tomahawks from and time period or region.
