markbyrnes 10 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Several years ago (1996), I read a book called "Baden Powell's Fieldcraft" or something similar. I have tried to locate this book, but can't even get a hit on Amazon. I must be getting the title wrong. I was told when I read it that the book was out of print, and it's owner didn't want to part with it. Can anyone tell me if I am getting the title right and whether there are any copies for sale? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Mark Byrnes markbyrnes@beckermayer.com Link to post Share on other sites
sctmom 11 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Was it Baden Powell or Ernest Thomas Seton? There are some books by Ernest Thomas Seton, that have been re-edited, available on Amazon. They may also be known as WoodCraft. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Mark, I have never seen a BP book by that title. Here is a site with a complete bibliography of BP's writings. I see nothing by that title there as well. http://www.pinetreeweb.com/bp-bibliography.htm Bob White Link to post Share on other sites
dsteele 20 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I'm nmore of a James E. West man, than a BP man. Is what you're looking for the original book BP wrote "Scouting for Boys" that was the run-away best seller that got the movement started? BP-ers, please correct me if I'm incorrect in my guess at the title. DS Link to post Share on other sites
troopmom 10 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Yes, Scouting for Boys was BP's but it was a set of 5 or 6 small books. I lent mine out so I can't check to see if one of those has a similar title. I'm searching now. I bought when Scouter.com had a store. Link to post Share on other sites
