I also have another older book with this pattern as well, unfortunate that one of the most villanous men of all time chose this design to represent his hateful regime.
The other book I mentioned is called Quilting Manual and was published in 1966 by Dover , author Dolores Hinson, in this book it is identified as Wind Power of the Osage as well, there is a brief history which reads " Even the Indians were honored with patterns called Mound Builders, Indian Hatchet,which is a very old pattern, and Wind Power of the Osage.
