First Published in Boston in 1829, The Boy's Own Book is a guide for boy's entertainment from the days before television, video games and cell phones. The book is packed full of great advice on many sports and pastimes. There are instructions for archery, fishing, swimming as well as how-to instructions on lots of things including learning sign language, math logic (think STEM) making a kaleidoscope, card tricks, science experiments and playing and winning at checkers!
