Copyright, 1912, by
Thomas Y. Crowell Company TO SCOUTS Scouts in America have a high honor to maintain, for the American scout
has always been the best in the world. He is noted as being keen, quick,
cautious, and brave. He teaches himself, and he is willing to be taught
by others. He is known and respected. Even in the recent war in South
Africa between Great Britain and the Boers, it was Major Frederick
Russell Burnham, an American, once a boy in Iowa, who was the English
Chief of Scouts. Major Burnham is said to be the greatest modern scout. The information in this book is based upon thoroughly American
scoutcraft as practiced by Indians, trappers, and soldiers of the
old time West, and by mountaineers, plainsmen, and woodsmen of to day. As the true hearted scout should readily acknowledge favor and help, so
I will say that for the diagram of the squaw hitch and of the diamond
hitch I am indebted to an article by Mr. Stewart Edward White in
Outing of 1907, and one by Mr. I. J. Bush in Recreation of 1911; for
the "medicine song" and several of the star legends, to that Blackfeet
epic, "The Old North Trail," by Walter McClintock; for medical and
surgical hints, to Dr. Charles Moody's "Backwoods Surgery and Medicine"
and to the American Red Cross "First Aid" text book; for some of the
lore, to personal experiences; and for much of it, to various old army,
hunting, and explorer scout books, long out of print, written when good
scouting meant not only daily food, travel, and shelter, but daily life
itself. E. L. S. BOOK KIT CHAPTER PAGE I. The Long Trail 1
