Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties: An Illustrated Guide to Wilderness Shelters

In "Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties", Daniel Beard, an early leader of the Boy Scouts of America, teaches readers how to build a large variety of practical shelters using either a hatchet or an axe. There are over 50 different shelters described, including lean-tos, teepees, hogans, bark houses, a sod house, stilt houses, tree houses, one room log cabins, and large log houses. 332 illustrations that detail the construction of the shelters make this an excellent book for all ages.
