Publisher's Synopsis
Voyage Of The Paper Canoe is a travelogue written by N. H. Bishop, chronicling his journey through the waterways of North America in a paper canoe. The book is divided into two parts: the first part details Bishop's journey from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, while the second part covers his journey from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout the book, Bishop provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encounters along the way. He also shares anecdotes about his experiences navigating the waterways, including encounters with dangerous rapids and wildlife. Voyage Of The Paper Canoe was first published in 1878 and is considered a classic of American travel literature. It offers a unique perspective on the United States in the late 19th century, as well as insights into the art of canoeing and the joys of adventure.We were again on the Richelieu, with about twenty-three miles between us and the boundary line of the United States and Canada, and with very little current to impede us. As dusk approached we passed a dismantled old fort, situated upon an island called Ile aux Noix, and entered a region inhabited by the large bull-frog, where we camped for the night, amid the dolorous voices of these choristers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
