The Countess Mountbatten's Own Legion of Frontiersmen was conceived
and organized in 1905 as a body of frontier sentinels, and they
first published The Frontiersman's Pocket-Book in 1909 as their
training and survival manual. Long out-of-print, copies command
steep prices in the antiquarian book market. This facsimile edition
of the Pocket-Book features documents, photographs, and maps drawn
from the University of Alberta's Bruce Peel Special Collections
Library's Sir Samuel Steele Collection, and also includes the
papers of Roger Pocock (1865-1941), founder of the Frontiersmen as
well as the compiler and editor of the Pocket-Book. More than a
mere historic curiosity, The Frontiersman's Pocket-Book remains a
useful, if dated, guide to living and working in the bush, or even
for conducting guerrilla warfare.
