This is the great book of the woodcraft movement of the early
twentieth century, glorifying the outdoor life and respect for the
environment. The first principle of woodcraft was not just to be
outdoors but to interact with it, and thus build life skills. The
role model was the heroic Indian of Fenimore Cooper and Longfellow;
the ideal, the Spartan-like Indian creed of courage, honor,
reverence, and discipline. Chapters are devoted to Woodland Songs,
Dances and Ceremonies; Scouting Indoors and Outdoors including star
lore; Signalling and Indian Signs; Craft and Games of the Summer
Camp; Health and Woodland Medicine; Natural History; Forestry;
Indian Ways and Campfire Stories, all with profuse illustrations.
