Mountain Scouting, first published in 1881, is a
valuable instruction guide for novice soldiers, describing how
to care for their horses, shoot accurately with their rifles,
fix broken bones, and ward off diseases and ailments. Farrow
guides troops on the use of equipment, offering advice on
proper clothing, bedding, tents, and rations. For the soldier
who becomes lost, Farrow comes to the rescue with a diagram on
following mountain divides and with a chart on how best to
relocate a trail. The book concludes with a glossary of
Chinook-English terms.
