Native American Moccasins, A Craft Manual

When published in 1969, George White’s book on making American Indian moccasins was the first comprehensive treatise on the subject and it remains so today. After George’s death, it has been published by his son Frank. Frank White decided to retire from publishing in 2013, Crazy Crow acquired the rights to the book. As the last print run was exhausted, we decided to build upon George’s excellent work by adding our detailed Plains Hard-Sole & Soft Sole moccasin instructions with detailed illustrations, along with a number of full color photos of different moccasin styles.
