Classic text about the Tipi was written at a time when Tipi had almost been completely forgotten as a craft. Famous author Stanley Vestal (see Kit Carson) includes a history of the Tipi. There's a color plate of the Laubin tipi, and the book is clearly written by Native American couple who want to retain Plains Indian culture. The text has 13 illustrations.
I pored over this book when I set up my tipi over 50 years ago. I used it's guide for making a liner. It gave all the help I needed at the time.

It's a must for any one into how the Amerisan plains Indian Lived. Has step by step instructions on how to make a tipi.
This is the official book to owning a tipi. If you buy a tipi and truly want to use it as a permanent home or as your tent. You must have this book to enjoy the most amazing structure you will ever sleep in. Especially in the winter.
