Interesting trip back in time .

This was an interesting trip back in time . It is very informative for anyone interested in the outdoors and very entertaining with regards to woodcraft . It has first rate descriptions of flora and fauna , and descritpions of basic usage . He also provides a lot of entertaining Indian History . Ernest Thompson Seton was apparently very enamored of Native Americans , and it shows . I would recommend overall for anyone interested in outdoor life.

Youth leader's ultimate guide

This book, by one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America, should be on the bookshelf of every summer camp, outdoors club, or youth group. First aid, crafts, games, sports, songs, natural history... you name it, this book has it. The illustrations are great, too.
