In anyone's library. Least I think. Is "Wildwood Wisdom"!!
Originally published in 1945. reprinted in 1992. Has lots of drawings but no pictures. Prolly came out before digital cameras.

The drawings are good quality. Has about the first three of twenty chapters online at the address below. Be handy to have in a scouting library.

I think I'm gonna see if I can find a copy somewhere cheaper. Be a good SHTF book, for sure.
