“This most splendid and complete book for boys is offered to meet a longing felt by many for a real, practical American boy’s book of out-door sports and amusements. Those contained within are intended for all ages past babyhood, and will not be found too trivial to engage the attention of grown-up people who are fond of such sports. The aim has been to give information about things that are practicable for those who have not a great deal of money at command. . . . Each particular department is minutely illustrated, and the whole is a complete treasury, invaluable not only to the boys themselves, but to parents and guardians who have at heart their happiness, and healthful development of mind and muscle.”—Pittsburgh Telegraph.
