A MUSEUM OF EARLY AMERICAN TOOLS

by Eric Sloane ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 11, 1964

Henry Ward Beecher called a tool ""but an extension of a man's hand,"" and it is of such tools that Eric Sloane chats in his ""museum."" His comments, placing the date and use of axes, canoes and bowls, chisels and gouges, the plow, the saw, the scythe, etc., are essentially complements to his sketches of the tools, which should be of interest to any amateur craftsman as well as to the antique lovers. Americana.
