Household Cyclopedia of General Information
Originally published in 1881, this wonderful book was designed for frontier families who had to do it all with not much help from experts. Want to know how to bud trees, amputate a leg, prepare your beehives for winter, make Lucifers (matches), make black paint from various natural materials (peach pit black is dull)? This is the book for you. Great fun to browse.
