Finally back in print after many years of being available, Henry Kauffman’s “American Axes” captures the spirit of an early America where virtually everything was made of wood and the economy revolved around the harvest of the Great American Forest. No tool was more important than the axe during these times. Kauffman chronicles the great axe makers, the care and use of the axe and provides a listing of every documented axe maker at the time of the original publication of the book. If you are a tool collector, antique dealer or student of history, we guarantee that you will thoroughly enjoy Henry Kauffman’s “American Axes”.
