And has recently appeared in Project Gutenberg, without illustrations, as a text file:

Has this project moved forward or been supplanted?
I would love to see the other two Nessmuk books - "Canoeing the Adirondacks with Nessmuk" and his book of poetry. Inventor of ultra-light camping. He'd have loved some of the toys we have today. exreader |

I believe that JBenny is currently busy with other things. But he hasn't said that he is giving up, so I imagine that the project is still in the pipeline.
If he tells us that he is currently too busy, then I'm certainly prepared to have a go, especially since an html source is now available. |

There is nothing for me to do. You can get the ebook in several formats from the website mentioned. BTW, I had a hand in that, which is why I didn't post the ebook here. As for the book of poetry and the Adirondack Letters, they will probably be done eventually as a colaborative effort.
Edit: If you simply must have a copy posted here, I can upload the Mobipocket version. Let me know if this is desired. Last edited by jbenny; 02-28-2008 at 02:13 PM. |

"Canoeing the Adirondacks" is a copyrighted book, which is based on Nessmuk's Adirondack Letters, as published in "Forest and Stream". The letters can be made into a free ebook. The copyrighted book cannot.

The chap who did "Woodcraft by Nessmuk" is now working on _Forest Runes_, Nessmuk's poetry collection. You can find it here: http://www.zianet.com/jgray/nessmuk/...itle_page.html
It's not complete: poetry is more work to convert and format, and he's putting up pages as he completes them. Ebooks will be posted when he's got it completely done. ______ Dennis |
