Dan Beard grew up on and around the Ohio River in the mid 1800s and wanted to emulate Daniel Boone. Though he grew up to be a civil engineer & artist, he found his way into writing and editing when he authored the "American Boys' Handy Book", a precursor to what would become familiar to later generations as the Boy Scout's manual. Written for scouting and pre-scouting age children.
