Daniel Carter Beard was an expert outdoorsman and founder of the scouting movement in America. His goal was to help kids to enjoy the out-of-doors as much as he did. In his books, filled with time-tested tips and knowledgable advice, Beard helped preserve invaluable folkways that instill self-reliance and a deeper appreciation of nature--all while having a world of fun. This is truly a book for all ages--including adults.
