CANOE CRUISING AND CAMPING. 
By Perry D. Frazer. Illustrated. 95 pages, cloth. 
Price $1. 
This interesting little volume is a practical guide 
for the cruising canoeist, the man who wishes to 
start away from the city and for a short time to 
make his canoe his home. With this in view, 
Mr. Frazer, who regards c&noeing as a healthful 
and economical method of passing awa^ leisure 
hours, has written briefly but attractively of 
canoes, camping outfits, clothing, firearms and 
ammunition; fishing tackle, photography, and in 
general of cruising, camping and all that pertains 
to this phase of outdoor life. While the volume 
has been written chiefly for the younger men, it 
is yet full of practical information and suggestion 
that' appeals to those who have had a wider ex- 
perience. 
Such a book as this should be in the library 
of every man who is interested in outdoor life or 
the things which pertain to it. It is one of the 
manuals which should stand on the shelf along- 
side of "Woodcraft," of which, in fact, it is a 
part.
