Woodcraft and Indian Lore

At the turn of the twentieth century, an age of booming technology and a rapid reduction of the outdoors, wildlife enthusiast Ernest Thompson Seton called for a renewed interest in outdoor living. If the nation was in need of a dose of nature then, we could certainly benefit from Seton’s expert guidance today. With this book, you’ll learn to:
• Build a campfire, dam, or birch basket
• Recognize animal tracks, constellations, and all manner of forestry
• Spot the differences between poisonous plants and edible berries
• Remedy everything from common cuts and wounds to life-threatening snakebites
• And much more!
Combining scientific knowledge with Native American wisdom and practices, this guide is essential for Boy Scouts, their pack leaders, and any guides leading outdoor treks. It’s also a great read for any outdoors lover who is looking for a fuller experience of nature.
