Outdoorsmen and armchair travelers will encounter history, ravenous
insects, trail menus, hungry bears, and the quiet joys of endurance
in this intriguing recounting of a 2008 canoe expedition. Six men
began a 1,300-mile canoe trip along a traditional fur-trading
route. During the two-and-a-half-month expedition, four of them
dropped out. One of the two who saw it through (Marks) turned 62 on
the trail, and the satisfaction of the authors at completing the
trek is expressed in vibrant if understated language: "Both of our
hearts were racing. We had made it." The highly detailed account of
planning the trip underscores the atmosphere of authenticity, and
problems encountered along the way ring true. This is no journal of
transcendental rapture; the emphasis is on the incidental and,
often, on mishaps. Moments of serendipity, too, are presented
keenly. Publishers Weekly 07/09/2012
