Scouting With General Funston is a book written by Everett T. Tomlinson and published in 1917. The book is a memoir of Tomlinson's experiences as a Boy Scout during the Mexican Border Campaign of 1916. General Frederick Funston, a well-known military figure at the time, was in charge of the campaign and Tomlinson had the opportunity to accompany him and his troops as a scout. The book is divided into chapters that cover various aspects of the campaign, including the initial call to arms, the journey to the border, and the battles that took place. Tomlinson provides detailed descriptions of the landscape, the weather, and the people he encountered during his time with Funston's troops. In addition to the military aspects of the campaign, Tomlinson also discusses the role of the Boy Scouts in supporting the troops. He describes how the Scouts helped with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and delivering messages. Overall, Scouting With General Funston provides a unique perspective on a little-known chapter in American history. It offers a firsthand account of the Mexican Border Campaign from the point of view of a Boy Scout, and sheds light on the important role that the Scouts played in supporting the troops.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
