Camping and Woodcraft

“This reprint deserves to be a working tool of every friend of the wilderness and life in the out-of-doors. Horace Kephart, a latter day Daniel Boone, leaves with a reader of his works ‘the charm of nomadic life in its freedom from care, its unrestrained liberty of action and the proud self-reliance of one who is definitely his own master.’”–John Frazier King “Appalachian Heritage”

Jim Casada, who has provided an informative introduction to this edition, is professor of history at Winthrop College. He has written numerous articles on sporting figures and outdoor literature and is editor-at-large for Sporting Classics and contributing editor for Fly Fishing Heritage.


Before coming the mountains, Horace Kephart (1862-1931) served as librarian of the prestigious Mercantile Library in St. Loius. His significant work, however, was done after he came to live in the Southern Appalachians in 1904. He played important roles in the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Appalachian Trail.
