Documented Cherokee Indian war club
« on: November 03, 2013, 10:50:08 PM »
Any chance that any of you know where I can find photos of a documented Cherokee Indian war club?

Take a look at the Museum of the Cherokee Indian's website:
http://cherokeemuseum.pastperfect-online.com/35361cgi/mweb.exe?request=keyword;keyword=war club;dtype=d

One is specifically identified as a repro of a late 18th century Cherokee war club.


I found written guidelines for Fort Loudon referencing historical descriptions of Cherokee clubs:
"War clubs are documented by Adair, Timberlake and others.  These are of the ball head, saber, and gunstock types."  You might be able to find the original writings of Adair and Timberlake and get a fuller description.
