The book of stars; being a simple explanation of the stars and their uses to boy life, written to conform to the tests of the Boy scouts
A. Frederick Collins wrote this 1915 Appleton handbook in New York, explaining the stars and simple observation to American boys working toward Boy Scout merit tests. The pen diagrams are bold and unshaded: a hatched sun core in concentric rings, circumpolar constellations swung around the North Star, brass sighting instruments, and a boy from behind holding a sundial card.
