Facsimile edition of long out-of-print training and survival manual of Countess Mountbatten’s Legion of Frontiersmen.
The Countess Mountbatten''s Own Legion of Frontiersmen was conceived and organized in 1905 as a body of frontier sentinels, and they first published The Frontiersman''s Pocket-Book in 1909 as their training and survival manual. Long out-of-print, copies command steep prices in the antiquarian book market. This facsimile edition of the Pocket-Book features documents, photographs, and maps drawn from the University of Alberta''s Bruce Peel Special Collections Library''s Sir Samuel Steele Collection, and also includes the papers of Roger Pocock (1865-1941), founder of the Frontiersmen as well as the compiler and editor of the Pocket-Book. More than a mere historic curiosity, The Frontiersman''s Pocket-Book remains a useful, if dated, guide to living and working in the bush, or even for conducting guerrilla warfare.
