Handicraft For Outdoor Boys Daniel Beard Carter

This special edition of "Handicraft For Outdoor Boys" was written by Daniel Beard Carter, and first published in 1906. This book explores wholesome, healthy outdoor pursuits for youngsters - an art that has been lost to the last couple of generations as they grow pale and wither in front of the frenetic flickering of computer games, and the sickly glow of the ubiquitous SmartPhone. Everybody, young or not-so-young, should have a copy of this book! It is filled with amazing, potentially life-saving tips and tricks on all manner of things, like building bridges and piers, and how to cross a stream on a log. Some of the handicrafts covered in this book are Airships, Broom-Straw Flying Machines and Kites, How to Make a Herbarium, Houses for Useful Birds, How to Build a Fire Engine, How to Build Substantial Piers and Bridges at Your Camp, and How to Build Indoor Play Houses, Secret Castles, and How to Make Mysterious Treasure Chests. This amazing old book, now well over a century old, would make an incredible, thoughtful Christmas gift for responsible, talented, smart young kids with a keen sense of adventure.
