First published in 1914, Daniel Carter Beard's "Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties" is the definitive guide to building survival shelters in the outdoors. Beard was the founding member of the Sons of Daniel Boone in 1905, which merged with the Boy Scouts of America upon its founding in 1910. Beard began his career as an engineer and surveyor, as well as a trained artist, and he illustrated many works, including some for Mark Twain. He was also an avid outdoorsman, youth leader, social reformer, and prolific author of articles and books for the Boy Scouts, as well as wilderness and survival guides. In his "Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties" Beard provides detailed and easy to understand instruction on how to build everything including a teepee, a log cabin, a tree house, and a beaver hut. This invaluable guide helps the reader to build any manner of essential shelter in numerous difficult environments without requiring any more special training than the ability to use an axe. As useful as it was when first written over 100 years ago, this brilliant guide belongs in the library of every outdoor adventurer. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
