"I should like to lead this whole nation into the way of living outdoors," wrote Ernest Seton over seventy-five years ago. If the nation was in need of a dose of nature then, we can certainly benefit even more from Seton's sage advice now. Learn how to build a campfire, a dam, or a birch bark basket; to recognize animal tracks, constellations, and all manner of forestry; to stop a nose-bleed, ease poison ivy, or soothe a sore throat with natural remedies; to make delicious biscuits on the trail and spot edible mushrooms; and more. This book is essential for Boy Scouts and their leaders, and great fun for anyone desiring a fuller experience of outdoors life.
This was an interesting trip back in time . It is very informative for anyone interested in the outdoors and very entertaining with regards to woodcraft . It has first rate descriptions of flora and fauna , and descritpions of basic usage . He also provides a lot of entertaining Indian History . Ernest Thompson Seton was apparently very enamored of Native Americans , and it shows . I would recommend overall for anyone interested in outdoor life.

This book, by one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America, should be on the bookshelf of every summer camp, outdoors club, or youth group. First aid, crafts, games, sports, songs, natural history... you name it, this book has it. The illustrations are great, too.
