A Progressive-era reformer, outdoorsman, illustrator, and author, Daniel Carter Beard was known to millions of Boy Scouts as "Uncle Dan," the group's first National Commissioner--a post he held until his death in 1941.. This practical handbook is perfect for beginners with minimal skills in the art of boat-building. From simple rafts to powered craft, the author enthusiastically details construction and operation dos and don'ts. It's also a valuable guide for scouts, campers, and outdoors enthusiastsHe was a prolific writer, illustrator, the founder of two different societies for boys and one of the original founding members of the Boy Scouts of America. Daniel Beard was born in 1850 and lived most of his life in Kentucky. Before his death in 1941, Beard received the only Golden Eagle badge ever awarded from the Boy Scouts of America, and had the mountain peak adjoining Mt.
. McKinley in Alaska named in his honor. From an early age, Beard decided to devote his life to American boyhood
. From the Back Cover First published in 1911, D.C. Based on the age of his audience, Beard assumed only the most basic of skills from potential builders, and his resulting directions and plans have become a classic in the school of "quick and dirty" boatbuilding. Beard's classic how-to was designed to help boys build small craft ranging from a log raft to a houseboat. Inside this small volume you'll find building directions for:" * The Logomaran, a single-log raft with outriggers * The "Man-Friday" rowing raft * The "Crusoe " raft with full stern and covered cabin * The "Chump's raft, developed to teach swimming * The "Sailing Raft" for crossing lakes * Slab and Dugout canoes * War Canoe * Folding Canoe * Birch-Bark or Canvas Canoe * Paddling
All and all very worthwhile reading. I am doing the "fish pops" with my Girl Scout Troop this week when we work on our pollution in the oceans unit… I am sure they will want it to be a regular part of this season's meetings. Robinson was a great American aviator - internationally acclaimed in his lifetime - but as a black Mississippian, he's been largely forgotten. Derber shows how globalization's realities grow out of policies, rules, and laws that are devised by a small group of "experts" to promote explicit corporate interests. She's an escort, choosing to accept gifts and sex as payment. Ben is a handsome, popular guy while Sophia is a plain wallflower. Matlab codes are not something original, you can find the same ones and much better on MathWorks. Very easy to read, a must have for freelance illustrators!Also a great source of information, links, documents and more, from inspiration to taxes.. Read, consider his line of reasoning, and absorb the larger messages in the books. I never go into any self help book expecting a great d
