Abstract

"The early Indian residents of Tulare county were expert hunters despite their lack of what then was considered 'modern' hunting equipment. The bow and arrow was the only weapon, the bow being made of mahogany or ash, strengthened by the laying over it of the backbone of a deer. Arrows were constructed in three different manners, according to the purpose for which they were to be used. For warfare and large game, they were flint tipped."
