Autorenporträt

Master craftsman and hobby expert with a nationwide reputation, W. "Ben" Hunt shares with all interested hobbyists the results of his experiences in silversmithing gained through association with many Indian tribes throughout the United States.While Hunt is not of Indian blood, he has identified himself with the Indian mind through living with the Indians.To acquaint himself with Indian lore, Hunt has traveled widely, visited pueblos and houses of the Southwest, the reservations of the Middle Western states, and of Canada. Living and camping with them, he has become so much their friend that they have given him an Indian name, "Tasunka Witko" which means Crazy Horse.In his inner sanctum, a log cabin in the woods behind his home in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, Hunt develops the crafts that have been the subject matter of his many books. Besides his Indian name, Hunt is also known "Katcina Ben" to his Boy Scouts and many fans who admire the "katcinas," Indian dolls, that he is adept at carving.Besides being a professional commercial artist, craftsman, lecturer, and author, Ben Hunt is a well-known Boy Scout leader and adviser. He regularly contributes articles on handicraft projects to professional and scouting magazines.
