Excerpt from Camp Fires in the Wilderness: Valuable Information for Campers and Sportsmen, With an Account of Travels and Adventures in the Wilds of Maine, New Brunswick and Canada Very year, when the summer time draws near, one's thoughts turn to the woods, to the lakes and streams, as the ideal place in which to take a summer's vacation, and to those who wish for infor mation on how to dress for hunting, fishing or camp ing trips, what to provide for cooking utensils, pro visions, bedding, fishing tackle or any other topic in connection with camping out, this book is dedicated, with the hope that someone who may read its pages will be persuaded to make a camping trip and find out, as I have done, that there is no recreation more profitable to one's life, health and happiness than living in the woods and roughing it.
