About the author

Daniel Carter Beard

1850–1941

Best known as one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America, he was also a lively illustrator and writer who filled his books with outdoor skills, frontier lore, and practical fun for young readers. His work helped shape an American idea of adventure that mixed imagination, citizenship, and life in the open air.
