Written when he was sixty-six years old, this is probably the last book which Markham wrote, and is one of his scarcest. "The practical instruction which he proceeds to give to the would-be-archer, of the bow and its use, the shooting-glove, the string, the shaft, the steel of the arrow, the feather, and the arrow-head, is reminiscent of Asham and may indeed be derived from his Toxophilus."?Poynter.

1830187726Philadelphia: R. H. Hobson 1830. Archery. the best probably of the gymnastic exercises First and sole edition of this rare guide attractively preserved in original state. The United Bowmen was the first archery club founded in the United States and this manual largely based on Thomas Waring's A Treatise of Archery London 1814 the first such text produced in the United States. Just 15 copies traced institutionally all in America. The club was founded in 1828 by artist and natural historian Titian Ramsay Peale 1799-1885 who had just returned from Stephen Harriman Long's expedition to the Rocky Mountains and "feeling the want of outdoor exercise" Davidson p. 1 and inspired by observation of the "Indians settled West of the Mississippi" with whose habits he was "entirely familiar" introduction p. vi settled on archery as a suitable pastime. Along with half a dozen other gentlemen - including fellow artist Thomas Sully who provided the sketch for the frontispiece - he set about formalizing a constitution for a society not to exceed 25 members. The Manual offers a brief history of the practice a discussion of the equipment required and its maintenance technique shooting drill and a guide to archer's etiquette mostly drawn from Waring but with occasional references by way of historical anecdote to Ascham's Toxophilus. By the time of Davidson's celebration of of the UBP Peale the last original member had died and membership had dwindled the new generation having found novel occupations and distractions; so the last "remains. have been gathered together and are deposited as a final resting place in the hall of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and Sic transit gloria Sagittariorum Conjunctorum".
