How to Build Your Home in the Woods by Bradford Angier Sheridan House, 1952
Title: How to Build Your Home in the Woods
Author: Bradford Angier
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Sheridan House 1952
Size: 5.75 X 8.5 * 310 pages
Synopsis: From the Jacket: Here is a profusely illustrated book that shows you how to build Log Cabins ... Camping Shelters . . Cabins without logs. . . Rustic Furniture . . . Full instructions on Housekeeping in the woods. . . Food from Nature . . . Living and Dining in Comfort.
The immediate success of the Angier's "At Home in the Woods," in which they told their experiences living the life of Thoreau today, brought many requests that they do a book giving the "know how" of living in the woods. Here it is.
With a wealth of ideas and proven formulas for living comfortably far from towns and cities, they show that wilderness living can be simpler and more efficient than the gadget ridden lives most of us live in urban areas. In fact, their whole plan for the simple life is designed to furnish easy, healthful and relaxed living conditions with little cost or effort. Economy and simplicity are the keynote.
They show that you don't have to be a Paul Bunyan to build your home in the woods. You don't even need an ax. The many cabins, shelters and small houses described here can be built and furnished using only hammer, chisel and saw. Even nails aren't absolutely necessary.

Not since the days of Dan Beard and Ernest Thompson Seton have a writing team come along with so much sound, understandable advice and illustrated explanation of woodland living, in all its phases. Vena Angier's hundreds of clear, practical sketches show that they were made by an artist who knows how things should be made.
For vacation living or for year-round residence, these homes in the heart of nature offer the cheap, comfortable solution of the problem of healthy living today.
This is your chance. As the Angiers quote: "Yesterday is ashes, tomorrow wood - only today does the fire burn brightly." -Better begin planning your home in the woods now.
