Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook of Travel
The several chapters fall mainly under the heads of Camping and Camp Equipment, Methods of Transport, Mapping and Route Surveying, Medicine, and Records and Observations of Travel. The various articles have been specially prepared by members of the Club, each of whom, from his knowledge and experience, seemed par ticularly fitted to treat the subject assigned him from an expert as well as a practical standpoint. As originally undertaken, the allotment of the subjects was chie?y done by a committee of the Club, with Professor William M. Davis as Chief Editor. Some of the manuscript had the benefit of critical revision by members of this Commit tee and its Editor, in consultation with the several authors. The final coordination of the various chapters and their preparation for press has latterly devolved upon the under signed.
