Camps and Trails is one of the small and rare, self-published, "Birch Bark Books" written by Henry Abbott. It is a true story about the author, and his partner Bige, and the camps they built and stayed at, in the Adirondack region of New York state. The task of blazing a trail becomes mysterious and deer hunting yields to distraction, but the two campers manage to produce the "finest Jerked Venison that any hunter ever put into his lunch bag". Sorry sights are left by a deep winter snow, and groups of picnickers who disrespect the camps.
