Description

Known to millions of Boy Scouts as “Uncle Dan,” Daniel Beard was once also a Progressive-era reformer, a naturalist, illustrator, and creator. Among his many “how-to” books is this entertaining choice of camp lore and practical notes on woodcrafting.
In Camp-Lore and Woodcraft, Beard, an avid outdoorsman, provides youngsters and campers of every age with detailed, easy-to-follow advice on building campfires for light and warmth; making a good fire for cooking; and packing, saddling, and mounting a horse. There are also some fine tips on preparing for a camping go back and forth, choosing a camp website, and pitching a tent, plus notes on the way to cut down a tree and the correct technique to chop wood.
First published nearly a century ago, and enhanced with more than 370 of the creator’s own illustrations, this engagingly written book by a man with a keen appreciation of the joys of nature will delight and instruct boys and girls with its celebration of traditional Native American lore and its helpful hints on the way to safely enjoy climbing, camping, and exploring the great outdoors.
