Through his vivid descriptions, Barrows takes the reader on a journey through the Shaybacks' adventures and mishaps, from their first summer as inexperienced campers to their final summer as seasoned outdoorsmen. He describes their encounters with wildlife, their struggles with inclement weather, and their efforts to build and maintain their own campsite.The book also provides a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the late 19th century, as Barrows and his fellow Shaybacks navigate issues of class, race, and gender in their interactions with local residents and other campers.Overall, The Shaybacks In Camp is a charming and engaging account of a bygone era of outdoor recreation, as well as a testament to the enduring appeal of nature and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
