DESCRIPTION:
Part of the "Childhood of Famous Americans" series that used to fill the racks of elementary school libraries throughout the USA, this book introduces the reader to Dan Beard, one of the organizers of the Boy Scouts in America. Dan Beard grew up on and around the Ohio River in the mid 1800s and wanted to emulate Daniel Boone. Though he grew up to be a civil engineer & artist, he found his way into writing and editing when he authored the "American Boys' Handy Book", a precursor to what would become familiar to later generations as the Boy Scout's manual. Written for scouting and pre-scouting age children.
