About this book
An old trunk in the attic brings back the records of a boys’ club on Willow Clump Island, along the Delaware River. The narrator recalls Bill, a resourceful school friend whose ideas shape the club’s activities, and Uncle Ed, a civil engineer who answers their questions. A. Russell Bond combines this account of outdoor adventure with a practical handbook, explaining how everyday materials can become useful equipment for a camp.
The projects range from tents, canoes and bridges to snow shoes, sledges and a water wheel. Measurements and directions form part of the story rather than standing apart from it. In the winter section, the boys bend hickory for a sledge and turn flexible boards into a toboggan, with a village blacksmith helping supply suitable runner iron.
