The Longhunter's Knife
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
A Longhunter (or long hunter) was an eighteenth century
explorer and hunter who made expeditions into the
American frontier
wilderness for as much as six months at a time. Hamilton asserts that "The Long
Hunter was peculiar to Southwest
Virginia only, and nowhere else on any frontier
did such hunts ever originate" [1]although the term has been used loosely to describe any unofficial American
explorer of the period.
The b&w photos were sent
me via email. The sender did not know where they originated from; any help in
identifying the source would be appreciated.
