Woodcraft (Illustrated)

The 1884 Classic of Going Light, Fully Illustrated

New York, 1884: a Pennsylvania shoemaker who weighs little more than a hundred pounds writes down how to travel for weeks through the wilderness with twenty-six pounds of duffle. Knapsack, hatchet and knives, the shanty-tent, the camp-fire built as it should be, frogging and camp cookery, a ten days’ tramp alone across Michigan, and the ten-and-a-half-pound cedar canoe — Sears’ book is instruction and story in one.
