Shelters Shacks & Shanties by D.C. Beard Dan Beard was a founding member of Boy Scouts of America and wrote many books on wood-lore. This book of practical skills emphasizes temporary structures that might be built by woodsmen. Originally published in 1914 this is an excellent guide for building;log-cabins, lean-to's, hogan's, signal towers, treehouses, food caches and notched log ladders. Along the way Beard also discusses in length on how to use an axe to achieve all this - and adds sections on how to build; doors and fittings, catches, and hidden latches and locks. With 330+ illustrations this book is a must for any scout, woodsman, or carpenter.

They sold it both fully assembled, and in knock-down form (much like Ikea today).

All the basic principles are covered, including many styles still used today. The book is complete with 300 illustrations. Likely the greatest value of this book is the confidence it can give a first-time builder. The section on bridges seems to have been added almost as an afterthought - but still adequate for a small property owner.
