Camp, explore, hike, discover, learn woodcraft—get outdoors and be at home in nature all through the year!

First published in 1920, and never out-of-print, Daniel C. Beard’s The Book of Camp-Lore & Woodcraft is a classic for enjoying the great outdoors. The author, a pioneer of the scouting movement, takes kids on a camping trip and instructs them in the art of building a fireplace and lighting a fire, designing a campsite, pitching a tent, cooking flapjacks, packing a trail horse, and handling an axe.

How many books are still just as entertaining and useful after 100 years? With time-tested tips and knowledgable advice from an expert outdoorsman, The Book of Camp-Lore & Woodcraft is an invaluable camping companion.

Daniel Carter Beard
Daniel Carter Beard was an artist before he became a scouting pioneer by starting the Sons of Daniel Boone in 1905, later changing the name to the Boy Pioneers of America. The renamed group kept its curriculum of healthful exercise and the outdoors traditions of American frontier life, a curriculum that influenced the Boy Scouts of America when the groups merged in 1910. Beard also encouraged girls to get involved in the outdoors lifestyle through his work with his sisters Lina and Adelia Beard, who wrote The American Girls Handy Book and helped start the Camp Fire Girls.
