Back in 1906, Horace Kephart wrote his classic book, CAMPING AND WOODCRAFT. In it, he described filling his canteen from a clear babbling brook on the side of a mountain. About a hundred yards further
upstream, he discovered a rotting deer carcass in the stream with all the water passing over and through it.
