Handbook for Rangers & Woodsmen

Practical Sportsman and Outdoors Enthusiast Survival Guide

1917

Jay L B Taylor

The object of this volume is to serve as a guide for inexperienced men in woods work. While in its preparation, the author had primarily in mind the problems which confront - a forest- ranger, in Government, State, or private employ, and - especially rangers on National Forests, yet the suggestions offered may be of use to others whose work or recreation takes them into rough and unsettled regions.
