Excellent source of projects for school or scouting
I have used this book to instruct boy scouts in Native American and early New England craft with great success. The broad range of projects can easily provide you with a year's worth of activities that fit perfectly within the scouting program. The sketches and instuctions are easy to follow and the required materials are not expensive.

Not that bad
I am going to go against all of the reviews I read here on Amazon and on other sites and say I don't think the type is all that bad. Don't let that keep you from reading this book or you will miss some interesting reading.

Delighted to find Dr. Wilbur's books in hardback!
I first checked this book out five years back at the locallibrary. All books in Dr. Wilbur's series on early American life areimmensely enjoyable and a work of art in themselves, with painstakingcaligraphy and illustrations. It is plain to see that the author has created a series of books that have informed and entertained generations of Americans, young and old alike. I picked my hardback copy ...

Everything from ship types, rigging, gear, weapons (personal and shipboard), maneuvering, signals, 'recruiting', berthing, and more are ...

cutting
Read this one on a full stomach. This stuff is real. This is how medicine was back during the days of our founding fathers. Truly you must admire the men who went to war to make our nation beginning, for this is what they got if they did not die in battle but were wounded. More shocking is if you choose to read the book by this same author of the medicine of the Civil war period, you will see how ...

Nice primer on tall ships
I found this book to be a nice introduction to the topic of shipboard life. Overall, the book gives the feeling that you are sitting with an old salt discussing sailing. In many instances, drawings in the book have been made from photographs or museum pieces, I would have preferred to see the detail of the photograph rather than a simpler and less accurate drawing. It has some facts on ship ...
