The archives of Hawk Mountain Council are rich with material collected by Eugene Druckenmiller, Richard C. Bennett, Scotty Bradbury, and many other undocumented donors.

Since Scouting started in 1907, there have been many excellent books and articles on Scouting and the people who made it happen. In the preparation of this book, the editor used many of these as references, but used a few for significant amounts of information.

These books are:
