Beard, Daniel Carter. Field and forest handy book: new ideas for out of doors. $2. Scribner.
6–40572.
In furnishing to boys a year-around guide for equipping themselves for out-of-door pursuits Mr. Beard has drawn only upon his own outing experiences. “The book is not a ‘re-hash’ of old ‘stunts,’ but is full of brand-new things, cleverly arranged according to the seasons to which they are appropriate.” Some of the problems solved are: How to cross a stream on a log, How to make a bridge for swift waters, How to make a real hunter’s clothes and moccasins, and How to build a real log house.
“The material is almost wholly new.”
