2020 Reprint of the 1921 Two Volume Expanded Edition. Nearly 900 pages with numerous illustrations. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. The first volume was originally published in 1906 as The Book of Camping and Woodcraft. Kephart expanded the work into two volumes in 1916. This is the expanded edition in its entirety. Camping and Woodcraft ranks sixth among the ten best-selling sporting books of all time. The subtitle is: A Handbook for Vacation Campers and for Travelers in the Wilderness , and it covers all aspects of this experience encyclopedically. A standard manual for campers and a veritable outdoor enthusiast's bible for over four decades, this book reflects Horace Kephart's practical knowledge and covers, in depth, any problem that campers might confront.

Kephart lived in the Great Smoky Mountains and spent most of his time in the wild. Consequently, he became an expert on all aspects of camp life from living in a semi-permanent lean-to to traveling with only the bare essentials in a backpack. More than simply a hunting or fishing guide, Kephart's book covers a wide variety of subjects from how to dress game and fish to how to shoot accurately. Every chapter is filled with tips that remain useful even after many years of improvements in equipment and technology.
