The boy pioneers, sons of Daniel Boone
The Boy Pioneers, Sons of Daniel Boone is a juvenile outdoor-life handbook by Daniel Carter Beard, published in New York by C. Scribner's Sons in 1909 for boys. Its pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings with diagrammatic labels: a standing scout with a spear, tents and tent-pitching plans, a boy working a small wooden mechanism, and triangular sail or kite diagrams. A designer could borrow the clean, labelled line style, the rustic woodcraft subject matter, and the simple figure poses.
