Written by "Uncle" D.C. (Dan) Beard, an authority on outdoors life and woodcraft in the late 1800s-early 1900s. Dan Beard was well respected among America's youth, having written multiple instruction manuals for children on how to have fun in the outdoors and maybe make a little trouble along the way. Many of his tips and ideas for woods life still ring true today. Dan Beard was a key founder in the Boy Scouts movement in America and contributed a significant amount of time and written material to develop its program (including this book).
