    Synopsis

    Written for "boys of all ages," this is an illustrated guide to putting a roof over one's head. From basic lean-tos to full log cabins, the author describes shelters that can be built with tools starting as simple as a single hatchet. He describes the construction of Indian communal houses, sawed-lumber shanties, sod houses, hogans, log tents, treetop houses, over-water camps, signal towers, and other structures. He also offers advice on necessary techniques. This is the unabridged republication of a work originally published in 1941 by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York.
