<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A significant book about 100 years of canoeing Canada's most remote and fabled rivers - the rivers that flow north to the Arctic.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Canoeing North Into the Unknown is an important book about canoeing Canada's most remote and fabled rivers, the rivers that flow north to the Arctic. Bruce W. Hodgins and Gwyneth Hoyle have amassed an unparalleled amount of information on who canoed these rivers and when. The rivers have long been highways for the aboriginal peoples, and the journals of those who followed in their wake, from early fur-traders, missionaries and surveyors to 20th-century recreational canoeists, provide a rich heritage of history and adventure. The account of each river system includes a geographical description, its historical significance, and chronological records of those who have canoed its waters. As well, there are maps, photos, indexes and bibliography. This book will be indispensable to all who love canoe travel, the North, Canadian heritage and adventure.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The canoe is as much a symbol of Canada as the maple leaf or the beaver.
