DANIEL BEARD
Shown in buckskin on the front of a catalog pamphlet listing his publications
Pamphlet signed: "Dan Beard", 3½x6 folded, 6½x6 open flat. Folded catalog booklet picturing Beard on front and listing his publications. Signed in fountain pen below his picture. Daniel Carter Beard (1850-1941) illustrated many books (among them the first edition of Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court) and taught animal drawing. He became interested in work for boys, and his best-known book, The American Boys' Handy Book, was published in 1882. Founder (1910) of the Boy Scouts of America, he served for the remainder of his life as National Scout Commissioner and Chairman of the Court of Honor. To boys all over the country he was known as "Uncle Dan". It was his idea to Americanize the Boy Scout fleur-de-lis by adding the American eagle and shield. Beard received the only Gold Eagle Badge ever awarded. Signature heavily bled (legible). Corners and edges worn. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
