In northern Missouri in 1843, Jaden Kincaid and his four cousins named themselves “The Missouri Five.” They lived, worked, and played on a four-thousand-acre farm where their fathers were employed by the owner to do the farm work. Although work-life was hard, money was in short supply, and their homes were very simple log structures with tin roofs, the boys enjoyed adventures together and learned some important life lessons. Join in with The Missouri Five as they explore a cave, deal with angry hornets, attempt skunk surgery, save a life, have an embarrassing moment at the swimming hole, deal with bullies at school, and much more! And be encouraged as these twelve- and thirteen-year-old boys learn about life and live out their faith with their families through many of these adventures and challenges. Note: Content safe for all ages and is easily read by ages ten years and older. Published by Burkhart Books, Bedford, Texas - www.BurkhartBooks.com

This book is an illustrated version of the original The Book of Camp-Lore and Woodcraft by Daniel Beard. “When the vast fields of ice covered Europe during the glacier period and forced men to think or die, necessity developed a prehistoric Edison among the Neanderthal men, who discovered how to build and control a fire, thus saving his race from being frozen in the ice and kept on cold storage, like the hairy rhinoceros and elephant of Siberia. The fire of this forgotten and unknown glacier savage was the forerunner of our steam-heaters and kitchen ranges; in fact, without it we could have made no progress whatever, for not only the humble kitchen range, but the great factories and power-plants are all depending upon the discovery made by the shivering, teeth-chattering savage who was hopping around and trying to keep himself warm among the European glaciers.”
