    Default FREE - Pioneer How-To Handbooks

    Wow, most of what I find on FB is trash, but here's a real gem.

    Free, downloadable PDF books from Pioneers in the 1880's.

    A great read for the historian, self-sufficient guru, or closet prepper. . . .


    Pioneer Handbooks

    Looks like they cover loads of topics from gardening, soap making, herbal medicine, orchards, livestock, dairy, hunting, recipes, cleaning, carpentry, to 1889 plumbing , etc
    It is sobering to reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. - Charles A. Beard

    I didn't spend a lot of time at the site, but do believe that the biggest part of what they are showing comes from a book called The Homestead Manual. The whole book, instead of various chapters, can be downloaded as a pdf, as a Kindle, text document and various other formats from The Library of Congress. http://www.archive.org/details/homesteadmanualo00gueb Definitely a book worth having around.


    There are only two types of warriors in this world. Those that serve tyrants and those that serve free men. I have chosen to serve free men, and if we as warriors serve free men, we must love freedom more than we love our own lives. -- Sergeant First Class Stefan Mazak, 5th Special Forces Group

    Do thou O Lord, protect us, guard us ever from this generation. On every side the wicked prowl as vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

    In answer to your inquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell. —William Booth founder and general of the Salvation Army 1829-1916
