More than simply a history of the bow and arrow, The Lightning Stick brings together a broad range of significant people and events, spiritual usages, medicinal treatments, and an unusual array of subject matter related to the weapon itself. Henrietta Stockel conveys a host of information derived from primary documents and provides readers with a fascinating book. Before the mid-1800s darts, atlatls, and Indian bows and arrows were very effective against enemies, and it is this particular time, and even earlier in some instances, that the author addresses, expertly drawing on both fact and fiction. At the core of this book are formerly obscure tales about arrow wounds and the often innovative methods used in the mid- to late-1800s to treat them. Stockel also discusses head wounds and their treatments, such as cutting into the skull, or scraping a hole in it (called trephining), or drilling into the soft tissue with a homemade tool. She also includes a graphic portrayal of scalping and how - once treated - those wounds did (or didn't) heal.

No one knows for certain just when the bow and arrow came into use in America, but they were in use from the far North to the tip of South America when Europeans first arrived. Over the hemisphere the equipment ranged from very poor to excellent, with the finest bows of all being made in the Northwest of North America. Some of these bows rivaled the ancient classic bow in beauty of design and workmanship. The attitudes of whites toward Indian archers and their equipment have ranged from the highest of praise with mythical feats rivaling those of William Tell and Robin Hood-–o mockery and derision for the Indians' short, "deformed" bows and small arrows. The Laubins have found most of the popular conceptions of Indian archery to be erroneous-as are most of the preconceived notions about Indians—and in this book they attempt to correct some of these false impressions and to give a true picture of this ancient art as practiced by the original Americans. Following an introduction and history of Indian archery are chapters on comparison of bows, bow making and sinewed bows, horn bows, strings, arrows, quivers, shooting, medicine bows, Indian crossbows, and blowguns. Those wishing to learn something about the use of archery tackle by American Indians, something of the ingenuity associated with its manufacture and maintenance, and something about the importance of archery in everyday Indian life will find in this book a wealth of new, valuable, and important information.
