The second decade of Mark A Baker's adventures in learning and living the life of a colonial woodsman and hunter. In A Pilgrim's Journey, Baker shares the knowledge and insights gained from wilderness experiences, extensive research and from his partners and mentors along the way.
A Pilgrim's Journey, Volume Two contains the most complete instructions and advice for becoming an 18th century longhunter. From flintlocks and moccasins to shooting bags and knapsacks, Baker explores the way of life in frontier America and shows how modern-day woodsmen are recreating the exciting era that helped forge the American Spirit and a new nation.
