The classic and gorgeous accounts of two legendary naturalists'
journeys through summer and winter in the north country-in two new
stand-alone paperback editions When Canoe Country and Snowshoe
Country were first published, in 1938 and 1944, respectively,
readers were charmed by their enchanting portrayal of the
wilderness of northern Minnesota. Florence Page Jaques and her
husband, Francis Lee Jaques, became celebrated champions of the
Boundary Waters and its majestic environs. Now, these classic books
are both back in print as paperback editions. A well-traveled New
York sophisticate, Florence Page Jaques fell in love with northern
Minnesota during her first trips to the region, and she recounted
those early experiences in Canoe Country and Snowshoe Country. She
writes of the excitement of traveling by foot, canoe, snowshoe, and
dogsled. Weeks of solitude canoeing through the Boundary Waters are
interrupted by encounters with the denizens of the north country.
In these two volumes, her vivid stories are matched by her famous
husband's spectacular drawings; Francis Lee Jaques captures the
delicate power of Minnesota's seasons, from the cascading falls of
summer to the frozen lakes of winter.
