A bit like another of my favorites, Two Little Savages by Ernest Thompson Seton but more detailed on how to actually do things. Someday I will actually make the Kentucky Burgoo Stew in a cast iron pot over an open fire outdoors. I think I will probably never make the moose hock moccasins though. ( )
