That Yearning for the Woods and Lakes? 
T is inbred in every man to be a pioneer. 
time when primordial men matched their wits with the elements and with 
the wild beasts to win existence. Then every man was a hunter, fisherman, 
VAS oa 
This is our heritage from the 
trapper, backwoodsman perforce in order to have an abode and food. 










1. Hiking and 
Canoeing 
A practical story of 
traveling through field 
and stream, supplemented 
with Indian songs, and a 
background of historical 
events of pioneering a 
hundred years ago. This 
volume is Mr. Seton’s 
“Rolf in the Woods.” 































2. Animals 
and Birds 
The amazing stories of 
certain animals. The epic 
of Coaly—the outlaw 
horse—and his spirit of 
eternal freedom, is one 
of the greatest animal 
revelations ever written. 
This volume is ‘Wild 
Animal Ways.” 


























3. Indian- 
craft 
A book of the deep 
woods and how to live 
there. This tale is glo- 
rious with outdoor phi- 
losophy — bows and ar- 
rows, campcraft, deer- 
hunts, the ways and signs 
of Indians. It is “Two 
Little Savages.”

As long as such books are

can penetrate your city home, or enrich your 
life in the country. 
To-day we still hear the call o’ the 
wild. It is the balance for our whirl- 
ing wheel of modern life. To roam 
the woods is to stretch cramped limbs 
where time and space are plentiful. 
To sit on a pine log and smoke your 
pipe—to listen to the call of the night 
owl—to sharpen your appetite with a 
hike or a fishing trip is to obey that 
pioneer instinct and to win freedom. 
You can pity him who does not 
know how to expand his chest and to 
rejoice in the open air! He has lost 
the urge of woods and stream and 
field, and cut himself off from the 
love and adventure and health that 
Nature provides, and that she gives 
us the emotion to enjoy. 
They say that every man is just a 
big boy. Good. Turn yourself loose! 
Provide yourself with a knowledge of 
the woods. The magic of the mocas- 
sin still makes good medicine. 
The greatest threat of our civiliza- 
tion is that it may dull those instincts 
of the cave-man, tree-man, woodsman, 
fisherman, within us, and these are 
the characteristics of our people. 
For it was a love of adventure and 
exploration that inspired Columbus to 
set sail. It was a zest for discovery 
and new knowledge that lured Balboa 
over the unknown mountains to an 
unknown sea. It was a passion for 
freedom that brought our forefathers 
to these shores. It was inborn hardi- 
hood .that impelled the pioneers 
across our Western prairies or woods- 
men like Daniel Boone to open up the 
wilds for our habitations, or to match 
wits with the Red Men. 
We are pioneers, the offspring of 
pioneers. Civilization has not yet 
effaced those hearty, wholesome, brave 
well-

impulses. But it behooves us_ to 
foster in ourselves and in our children 
those qualities of skill, courage and 
resourcefulness that belong to Ameri- 
cans above all, because of their his- 
tory. 
The science of woodcraft, Indian- 
craft, campcraft, and wild animal 
lore, does not measure the cut of a 
man’s coat, nor notice the kind of a 
fork he uses, nor count the cost of 
coal. It measures the quickness of 
his eye, the skill of his hands, the re- 
sourcefulness of his brain, the courage 
of his heart, the generosity of his 
nature. 
But to be lured by the camp-fire 
and the trail; to learn how to read 
the stories spread out in the heavens 
—the constellations, the dippers, the 
signs of the Zodiac; to tell the tales 
of the wilds; to know the habits and 
haunts of the bear, the beaver, and 
the deer; to be taught in these things 
by a real backwoodsman who is at 
the same time a naturalist and artist 
of world-wide fame—this is the ex- 
perience provided by the books of 
Ernest Thompson Seton. The voices 
of the woods and streams are calling. 
Let Seton be your guide. Take him 
with you to the country this summer 
where he can teach you the laws and 
the romance of the open. Or else 
bring him into your home where your 
boy, or the boy in you, can hear the 
tales and learn the lessons of wood- 
craft from one of the greatest and 
most beloved Pioneers who has ever 
lived.

5. Earth and 
Sky 
Beginning with “things 
to see in springtime,’’ 
this extraordinary volume 
introduces all the seasons, 
and it is an eye-opener 
for natural marvels and 
quaint discoveries. It 
sums up with “things to 
remember” and a rousing 
woodland song with mu- 
sic. This is ‘‘Woodland

are shown like a moving- 
picture strip to display 
the behavior of the ani- 
mals. This is ‘‘Wild 
Animals At Home,”
