Shifts and expedients of camp life, travel & exploration
Shifts and Expedients of Camp Life, Travel and Exploration is a large practical handbook by William Barry Lord and Thomas Baines, the artist and explorer who had traveled in northern Australia and southern Africa. Pooling what they had learned in many lands, they advise the traveler on everything from the outfit to take abroad, firearms, instruments and medicines to tents, boats and rafts, crossing rivers, building huts, sledging over ice, making wagons and harness, finding water, working metals, hunting, trapping and carrying the sick or wounded. Illustrated with many engravings, it is a fascinating record of the skills and attitudes of Victorian exploration.
