NOTE: This description is for the 2011 reprint with the green and
black cover, NOT the 2012 reprint with the brown cover "published"
by RareBooksClub.com. This 2011 edition is an EXACT reprint of the
1910 edition, and reproduces the original layout and illustrations
perfectly. There IS NO gibberish or poorly OCR'd text in the one
with the green and black cover. "Your thoroughbred camper likes not
the attentions of a landlord, nor will he suffer himself to be
rooted to the soil by cares of ownership or lease. It is not
possession of the land, but of the landscape, that enjoys; and as
for that, all the wild parts of the earth are his, by a title that
carries with it no obligation but that he shall not desecrate nor
lay them waste." H. Kephart Intended as the definitive pocket field
guide for the turn of the 20th Century woodsman and camper, the The
Book of Camping & Woodcraft was originally published in 1906.
This particular "Heritage Edition" appears as it was on the second
reprinting in 1910. In 1916, Kephart dramatically expanded the book
into two volumes to include wagon camping and semi-permanent base
camp construction. These are the equivalent of modern car camping -
just a couple of notches down from a motel stay. The 1910 edition
is the "purest" of all the editions of "The Book of Camping and
Woodcraft." Fully illustrated with photographs and diagrams and
packed with woodcraft lore, this book is a must-have for any rugged
outdoorsman or bushcraft enthusiast.
