Native American Moccasins: A Craft Manual

I got this book as my first foray into moccasin making and it has been perfect. I tried to find instructions and patterns online but the information was not comprehensive enough. This book is everything I was looking for. I would definitely recommend this book for beginners and experienced crafters alike.

I got this to replace the Original Tan cover edition I got "back in the day" from TandyI have short " duck " shaped feet ( short and very wide)so I make some of my " house shoes"This neat little book had good pictures and explanationsfor folks who just want a Print it and cut it out pattern- this is not what you are looking forfor folks who Need to make a pattern ( from scratch) that actually works - here are a number.for folks who want to make "period" and/or Tribe specific foot wear- here it isthis new edition is Even Better than the originalreally really really nice book

If you have ever wanted to make authentic native footwear, this definitive book gives step by step instruction on making beautiful moccasins. It is profusely illustrated with color images and patterns, and informs the reader on choosing or tanning the appropriate hide, to identifying the various styles of footwear particular to specific North American tribes.

So far, this is the best single book I've found for how to make authentic native American moccasins

I've had an older first or second edition of this George White book for some time and it is still very useful and a favorite but this brand new December 2013 printing includes significant improvements and is well worth getting even if you already have an earlier copy in the original format.The early editions of the book were pretty good even though they weren't in color and the illustrations and format weren't up to more modern standards. This 2013 edition has many color photos that are now on a gloss paper. Along with some additional text are many added illustrations. Additionally, the original George White drawings are now much larger, clearer and cleaned up. It's so much better that it's like a different book.

You have to love a book that knocks it out of the park. By rigorously focusing on the subject and purpose, with no extraneous detail, the author manages to cover an enormous range of moccasin types - 28 types from 30 tribes. IN 87 PAGES! With photos (color). With construction illustrations. The briefest commentary on native tanning and rawhide production practice takes a handful of pages up front.I had read that this book was the single best reference for moccasin construction. Having now looked at several other books and sources, I not only agree, but agree in spades.Highly recommended for the moccasin MAKER.

Nice instructions, a little more historical than a pattern book

The 2013 edition is a very fine volume. I have the original 1969 edition which I bought from Tandy Leather back in the early 1980's. The editors, Barry E. Hardin and J. Rex Reddick, greatly enhanced Mr. White's original edition. The drawings have been upgraded. Of particular use to the craftsman are the new instruction on making Plains tribes' soft and hard sole moccasins. I especially like the numerous photographs of various moccasins. The photos and paintings of various American Indians are excellent. I am very happy to have this text in my library, and highly recommend it to those with an interest in the topic, craftspeople, social historians, etc.

I love the pictures 👍

I adore this book and am so pleased I bought it.I intend to try and make some moccasins from an old leather jacket and have found the templates really useful.The photos of authentic boots are so beautiful and do justice to the amazing work produced by the Native American Peoples.
