Teriffic history Judy, thanks! And to AAPK!

Amen to that and I was interested to learn about your Cherokee wedding ceremony, if that isn't too personal.

The reason I'm asking more about the Cherokee is my fourth great grandmother was a Cherokee lady named (Moonglow) 1775-1845
a place in Kentucky is called Moon Ky... named after her.... she is buried there with husband Benjamin Hamilton 1761-1845

Her father is chief Seneca Moytoy

Here are a couple from my Pappy collection:

Pappy knife/Jules sheath This one is over 12"

Nice knives....Same time period as mine....really like the one with the Columbian Half Dollar...
It appears that he made one of a kind knives....It would be neat to know have many different knives are out there!
I've seen others but all were different
Thanks for sharing and invite others to show and tell...

Here are a couple more pictures of my Pappy collection. There are two or three in there that aren't his. There are also several more examples of Jules sheaths.

Awesome...A very fine collection ....Amazing at how many different types knives Pappy made during his lifetime!!
I've never seen any of Jules sheaths
Thanks for the information!!

Here is a piece I posted.....Does anyone know who made it or what its use was??

I'm just hoping someone will have some information on the piece I'm showing....the age of the piece, who made it... what the symbols represent
If it really what it seems???

I found a very good book ...America's Fascinating Indian Hertage by Reader Digest
this book has some great information, great pictures and easy reading
