Calvin Rutstrum's fans have long known about his nuts-and-bolts
approach to wilderness living. With this reissue of North American
Canoe Country, a new generation of readers has the chance to learn
time-tested secrets of a safe canoe adventure from a master
outdoorsman.
First published in 1964, North American Canoe Country is a
complete treatise on the art of canoeing. Written as a guide for
travelers who wanted to embark on self-sufficient trips deep into
the wilderness, this book offers readers all the information they
need to plan and undertake a canoe trip. Rutstrum gives the
essentials on canoes, comparing birch-bark, wood, wood-and-canvas,
and aluminum crafts. His paddling procedures are timeless -- he
describes strategies for rough waters, rapids, for boating alone or
in tandem, including diagrams of strokes. Portaging, safety
procedures, direction finding, towing, and much more are
systematically approached and explained.
Rutstrum also writes about some of the epic canoe journeys of
the twentieth century. This book will be of interest to both
armchair adventurers curious about life in the great American
wilderness and to those who want ideas on how to return to a less
complicated way of enjoying the great outdoors.
