Boat-Building & Boating

Dan Beard is the man who not only brought scouting to America but wrote a dozen books that popularized many of the activities that Boy Scouts still do today. This is one of his best. Want a raft, a dugout canoe, or maybe a houseboat? Dan makes it all seem perfectly reasonable and achievable! He has done it himself and is all too happy to pass the knowledge on to anyone who wants to be an explorer or a guide. His writing style fires the imagination by making anything seem possible; the only possible problems would be lack of optimism and energy.
