Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.

Download or read book Canoeing in the Wilderness written by Henry David Thoreau and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time Thoreau made this wilderness canoe trip he was forty years old. The record of the journey is the latter half of his The Maine Woods, which is perhaps the finest idyl of the forest ever written. It is particularly charming in its blending of meditative and poetic fancies with the minute description of the voyager's experiences. The chief attraction that inspired Thoreau to make the trip was the primitiveness of the region. Here was a vast tract of almost virgin woodland, peopled only with a few loggers and pioneer farmers, Indians, and wild animals. No one could have been better fitted than Thoreau to enjoy such a region and to transmit his enjoyment of it to others.

Download or read book The Canoe and the Saddle written by Theodore Winthrop and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canoe and the Saddle: Adventures Among the Northwestern Rivers and Forests; And Isthmiana Theodore Winthrop's celebrated romance of frontier adventure has been out of print for some years, but the frequent calls for a new edition, properly illustrated, testify to its abiding charm and value. In undertaking such an edition, I have felt that a book which seems destined to remain the chief classic of our early Northwest deserves most careful editing and very generous illustration. The reprint here presented, with its addition of the author's letters and journals, cover ing his entire stay on the Pacific Coast, and with illustrations selected from a wide field, will doubtless appeal to an even larger circle of readers than that which welcomed The Canoe and the Saddle on its first appearance, fifty years ago.

Download or read book Keep on Paddling written by Roy Cerny and published by Go to Publish. This book was released on 2022-01-10 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events in these true tales of the canoe country of northern Minnesota and Ontario were compiled over the authors' lifetime of experiences in the woods. Working with Boy Scouts and in his later years with employees, friends, family, and folks from his church, the author has led perhaps over 500 people on trips into the Boundary Waters. The experiences on these trips over the past 50 years have provided a wealth of material that the author has crafted into enjoyable stories. Some of the stories are educational, many are hilarious, more than a few are inspirational, all of them are entertaining. Each story stands alone but the book is best read from the front. Words followed by asterisks are defined in a glossary for readers unfamiliar with canoeing or the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. After reading this book, the author hopes you will be better informed about the lake country, you will have a greater appreciation for the wilderness, and you might even be encouraged to take a canoe trip to see Gods' country for yourself. If this is true, then the author has succeeded in his purpose.
