If you want to know what it feels like to throw a 10-foot bullwhip accurately and safely, to hear the whip’s whoosh and lightning-like crack of raw power, to experience the primal force and the grace that can make your heart leap like a kid’s on a Christmas morning, again and again --

NOW YOU CAN! Because one of the world’s best whip teachers shows you how to have that experience yourself.

Whips of the West

An Illustrated History of American Whipmaking

David W. Morgan

(Description from Cornell Maritime Press / Tidewater Publications)
From homemade horsewhips to fancy carriage whips, braided leather straps have worked to move our country (and our livestock) forward. You could call it Yankee Knack, the American drive to be enterprising, or a fascination with whipmaking, but author David W. Morgan, in his new book, Whips of the West, An Illustrated History of American Whipmaking, visually shows how whipmaking and the industrial revolution intertwined.

This book features background cover art by Gery L. Deer. Gery's photo entitled "Sleeping Giants" was licensed from Gery L. Deer / GLD Enterprises by publisher Maritime Press to be used as the background cover art of the new book, "Whips of the West - An illustrated history of American whipmaking."  The photo was taken in 2003 at an event in Eaton, Ohio and shows several bullwhips in artistic coils.

"The picture was really done by accident," said freelance writer, photographer and professional whip artist Gery L. Deer. "The whips were coiled on a piece of plywood and had just been 'dropped' there."

 The photo includes whips made by Paul Nolan, Joe Strain, and Peter Jack."  Ironically, there were no David Morgan-made whips in the picture.
