Daniel C. Beard, one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America, wrote and illustrated numerous books on the outdoors, including The American Boy's Handy Book , a classic best-seller with over 300,000 copies in print.
Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties was written and illustrated by Beard in 1914. It has 338 pen and ink drawings, along with instructions for a wide range of shelters, from the simplest and most basic — structures built with nothing but a hatchet — to gradually more elaborate constructions using an axe. It’s addressed to “boys of all ages” and is of special interest to homesteaders or anyone else thinking about putting a simple roof overhead.
How to Build:
- Sod Houses
- Log Cabins
- Over-Water camps
- Railroad Tie Shacks
- Navaho Hogans
Plus:
“From the balsam bed to the treehouse to the totem cabin…”
