Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. The Tenderfoot Squad or Camping at Raccoon Lodge was written by Captain Alan Douglas - Scout Master and is a vintage Boy Scout fiction book. The book was published by M. A. Donohue & Company in 1919 and could be a First Edition though it's not specifically stated as such. It's not an ex-library copy - has no dust jacket and is only in good condition - the pages are yellowing and the spine is brittle. The book is 4 3/4" by 7 1/2" and has 185 pages with a Table of Contents and about a dozen advertising pages at the end of the book. It's a really nice example of how things used to be - both good and bad. Thank you!!
