Originally published in 1914, “Shelters, Shacks and Shanties” presents step-by-step tutelage on all aspects of outdoor accommodation. D. C. Beard explains how to construct a variety of worry-free shelters appropriate to a natural environment that is by turns both friendly and foreboding. Included are a sod house for the lawn, a treetop house, over-water camps, and an American log cabin. Fully recognizing that the Outdoorsman builds a shelter with the intention of inhabiting it, Beard explains how to build hearths and chimneys, notched log ladders, and even how to rig secret locks. Illustrated throughout with instructional line drawings, “Shelters, Shacks and Shanties” harkens back to the can-do spirit of the American frontier and belongs in the knapsack of every modern scout, young and old alike.
