How to Camp Out

John Mead Gould (1839 - 1930)

Advice on camp gear, clothing, cooking, hiking, and other topics. Much of the book remains good and sensible advice today, but modern readers may be amused by Maj. Gould's few remarks on ladies, who "must be cared for more tenderly than men." - Summary by Sarah Jennings
