If you are just starting to collect or are merely interested in the tools Americans used during the pioneer days, this book is a good start. It explains the types of axes used and the various functions a particular axe performed. It also lists American axe and edge-tool makers of the 1800-1900's. Simple to understand and enough information to give you a good foundation of knowledge, with a bibliography to help you further your research. Every library that has a good pioneer selection should include this book.
