Campsteading: Family, Place, and Experience at Squam Lake, New Hampshire

This book describes and accounts for American campsteading, an institution that draws on historical trends to link families to places, and so shapes human presence on the land. The author draws on John Dewey's evolutionary model of experience to produce a detailed analysis of this phenomenon.
