Overview

In today's modern age with synthetic clothing materials and taboos on the wearing of furs, it is difficult to believe that as late as the 1920s, fur trapping and the marketing of pelts was still big business in the United States. Books and pamphlets regarding the industry were plentiful and one of the most prolific publishers of such materials was Peltries Publishing Company of New York City. This title, released by the company in 1919 and written by a renowned journalist-artist of the times, is a delightful guide to outdoor living and provides how-to advice on everything from log cabin construction, to wilderness travel, to the home manufacture of snowshoes. It gives hints on the selection of food, blankets, compasses, and outdoor tools. This is a neat and fun book for adults and kids alike.
