In a single volume Ernest Thompson Seton, renowned naturalist,
writer, artist, and founding leader of the Boy Scouts of America,
presents one of the most comprehensive guides to the outdoors ever
written. Originally published in 1922 as The Book of Woodcraft,
this work represents the culmination of years of observation and
experience in the wilderness. Within these pages lie instructions
and anecdotes—some expected, some delightfully
unanticipated—regarding literally hundreds of arts, crafts,
skills, and games. Here one can learn to distinguish edible plants
from poisonous ones; start a fire using only a jackknife; build a
four-store birdhouse out of a wooden box; communicate in sign
language; tie a variety of essential knots; identify trees,
wildflowers, animals, birds, and constellations; and much, much
more. Abundantly illustrated with the author's own handsome
pen-and-ink drawings, this classic outdoor handbook is both a
cherished piece of American history and a useful tool in preserving
and communing with nature.
