The Book Of Woodcraft And Indian Lore Legacy edition

Ernest Thompson Seton's Masterpiece Manual on Outdoor Life, Camping, and Native American Lore

This deluxe unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of original camper Ernest Thompson Seton's Book of Woodcraft and Indian Lore is the classic handbook issued by Seton to boy scouts, girl scouts, and other young people around the world. Originally published in 1912, this vintage book heavily draws from Seton's famous "Birch-Bark Roll" for his Woodcraft Indians / Woodcraft Rangers outdoors program for youth, instructing young people in the ways of the outdoors and self sufficiency.

This comprehensive historic handbook by Seton includes an amazing collection of tips and skills for modern campers, hikers, and outdoors folks to try for themselves, including principles of camping and woodcraft, insights and lessons from Native American life, histories, songs, and stories from multiple Indian nations, ideas for indoor scouting (stunts, handicrafts, knots, etc.), ideas for outdoor scouting (making fire with sticks, stargazing, archery, handmade camp tools, etc.), games for camp, health and medicine for camp, natural history facts such as information on mushrooms, plants, and trees, and a collection of campfire stories for all ages.

This vintage book includes timeless knowledge about wilderness life, which has largely been lost to time, but never forgotten by the old masters. Although this book represents thought from a former time, it also reveals much about the rich history of camping and the wilderness, and many of the tips, tricks, and discussions are still relevant for study today!
