Written by a former commander of scouts, while an instructor at West Point (1881). Interesting look at how it was done back then includes tips that are useful for wilderness preparation/survival even today. The index and illustrations (equipment, mules, knots, etc.) add to its value. Organization a bit scattered, though.
