American Boys’ Handy Book of Camp-lore 
and Woodcraft. By Dan Beard. Phila- 
delphia and London: J. B. Lippincott 
Company. 
This is a real Dan Beard book. No fur- 
ther commendation is needed. Dan Beard 
savors of camp-lore and woodcraft from the 
top of his head to the soles of his feet and 
during the twenty-four hours in the day he 
is thinking of something to interest the 
bov. 
The chapters tell how to make fires of 
all kinds, how to care for a camp kitchen, 
prepare food, pack horses, take care of dogs, 
use the axe and saw. conduct t council 
srrounds and fires. We like these words 
from the author who expresses a hope to 
“inoculate the souls and bodies of his read- 
ers, purify them and rejuvenate them with 
a love of the World as God Made It.”
