The comment thread on this MeFi entry on the works of the Beard family is worth a perusal. Daniel Carter, Lina, and Adelia Belle Beard wrote books on outdoor activities for kids of that era, some are freely available: On the Trail: An Outdoor Book for Girls. Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties and Boat-Building and Boating.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
