by C. Ross McKenney with David L Kendell
Born to the woods and a Registered Maine Guide, Ross McKenney was an irresistible personality and a born teacher possessed with the outdoor skills most people only read about. In 1937 he began a tenure that lasted twenty-four years as Woodcraft Advisor to the Dartmouth Outing Club. Many Dartmouth Men considered Ross McKenney one of the strongest influences in their lives. After retirement, Ross set down a sketch of his life: LANGUAGE OF THE FOREST. He described growing up in Maine at a time not long removed from pioneering, when work was done by hand or horse, and what you needed, you made. His school was the woods and farm, his teachers the rough men he grew up with.
