The Plains Warbonnet: Its Story and Construction by Barry Hardin, is filled with color images and descriptions of museum examples from several tribes, as well as historic photos of Plains Indians wearing warbonnets with their ceremonial attire. And the Photo Gallery presents some of today\u00e2\u20ac™s best craftsmen with examples of their artistry.<\/p>\n

In addition, large photos and color illustrations take the reader step by step through making a regular bonnet, single and double trailer variations, and the remarkable Straight Up bonnet of the Northern Plains and Plateau regions. Through the historical discussion and images of actual bonnets, a craftsman learns of many authentic, documented materials and adornments which he can apply during his bonnet-making to create a unique headdress.<\/p>\n

The Plains Warbonnet<\/b> has become the symbol most identified by the public with all Native Americans, regardless of their particular tribe or culture. This book addresses this misconception and other fascinating myths and realities pertaining to the warbonnet, such as its evolution, the meanings of the feathers and how they were acquired, materials and decorations, who had the rights to make and wear bonnets, and the several significant stylistic variations of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153typical\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Plains warbonnet. By learning that the historic Plains bonnet was associated with bravery, power, and Indian traditions, we see that it was much more than a colorful head decoration.<\/p>\n

By combining historical background with construction information, we believe this warbonnet book to be the most comprehensive work ever produced in print about this important symbol of the Native American.<\/p>\n

Paperback, 128 pages, 130+ photos with most in full color, and over 35 color illustrations.<\/p>\n

Provides a good overview of the Plains War bonnet with many great photos and examples included. If you have an interest and respect for Native American culture I would suggests this book would be a valuable asset to your library.
\nP. Leslie 5 Star Amazon Review, A really excellent book, well compiled and produced.<\/b><\/p>\n

The author appears quite knowledgeable, covering the history, construction and the various types of feathered warbonnets, with many illustrations; great for both coffee table and research shelf. I have read similar works and come away disappointed, but this book seems to really have it all. Heartilly recommended for the serious student and the hobbyist wishing to construct a proper replica.
\nR. Lucas 5 Star Amazon Review, Very entertaining and informative.<\/b><\/p>\n

Excellent book. Tons of beautiful photos, including closeups of different historic warbonnets. Very comprehensive in its discussion of various types of bonnets as well as the differences in historic and modern construction and detailing. There are four pages just on construction of the crown or cap of the warbonnet. Additional chapters detail how to make a \u2018trailer\u2019 bonnet and a Blackfoot-style \u201cstraight-up\u201d bonnet. I actually held off purchasing this book because of what that review said! Glad I finally got it. I highly recommend this informative and useful book.
