The Indian teepee has the great advantages of ventilation and an open fire
inside. It has the disadvantage of needing a lot of poles and of admitting some
rain by the smoke-hole.
A new style of teepee, invented by myself some years ago has been quite
successful, since it combines the benefits of teepee and tent and needs only
four poles besides the smoke-poles. It is, however, less picturesque than the
old style.
This gives the great advantage of an open fire inside, and good ventilation,
while it is quite rainproof.
It can be put up with four long poles outside the canvas, the poles crossing
at the top as in the Indian teepee. Of course the point of the cover is attached
before the poles are raised.
