This facsimile edition features original documents, photographs, and maps from the University of Alberta's Bruce Peel Special Collections Library's Sir Samuel Steele Collection, including papers from Roger Pocock himself. A useful resource for those interested in bushcraft or guerrilla warfare, The Frontiersman's Pocket-Book remains a valuable historical document. Hardcover, 506 pages.
