Description
|
|
|
|
Boy Scouts of America cofounder Daniel Beard knew his way around the great outdoors, and produced a series of "handy books" for boys and girls in the 1880s and 90s. This title is a later follow-up, first published in 1906. With a cheerful, "can-do" attitude, Beard presents clear directions and diagrams for building kites, birdhouses, boats, and igloos, along with numerous projects and tips for campers. In this facsimile of the 1912 edition, readers 8 and up can learn how to make a luna kite in the spring, a cheap boat in the summer, an altar camp stove in the autumn, and a toboggan in the winter.
