August 01, 2005: Rare Scouting Books on Exhibit at University of Virginia
"CHARLOTTESVILLE Leaf through the 11 editions of the Boy Scout Handbook -- the first was published in 1911 -- and you'll see a mirror of the country frozen in time.
The oldest editions taught Scouts how to build a log cabin and stop a runaway horse, about wireless telegraphy and chivalry -- skills and virtues that still sound good to me today."
