The Tenting School: A Description of the Tours Taken, and of the Field Work Done... 

by C. W. Larison

Title continues: "A Description of the Tours taken, and of the Field Work done, by the Class in Geography in the Academy of Science and Art at Ringos, N.J., during the Year 1882." 

Illustrated with diagrams and maps and finely narrated, this detailed account of the travels and studies of a class of geography is as much an entertaining and instructive journey through Ringos' key places, as it is a useful practical tool for any interested in tenting and natural sciences. Filled with many geographical and scientific as well as technical details, the work is a relevant reference book for scholars. 292 pages. 4.75 x 7.75 inches.

Particularly unique for its "fonetic" spelling, complete with diacritical marks. Illustrated with maps and diagrams. Preface at beginning of volume.

Published by: C. W. Larison, Publisher, Ringos, NJ, 1883.
