Excerpt from Camp-Fire Musings: Life and Good Times in the WoodsMankind has never willingly relinquished the camp fire. It is not preference, but necessity, that has driven him indoors.

Civilization is to him a choice of evils, and he has never forgotten nor ceased to long for Paradise. It is not for civilization to vaunt itself over barbarism.
