Antique How To Books (Pioneer Style)

Hello Everyone!

I am seeking knowledge on how to obtain collectible books that are how to books from the 1800's to the early 1900's. There was a
series that someone mentioned to me years ago, and I simply can't remember the name. I am into survival, and how to books, and
am starting over from scratch, as my entire collection was destroyed due to moisture issues where I was forced to move it to during my
cancer recovery (Could no longer afford to keep them in the safe place they once were, and should have sold them before they became
destroyed, but just couldn't part with them).

I am a go-getter who really knows what it means to start over in life, as this is the 3rd time I have had that difficult experience, and I am
pretty fearless about it due to that fact.

Any advice on where to go to find anything like the aforementioned types of books is highly appreciated! :)
