Description:Excerpt from The Geographical Journal, Vol. 10: Including the Proceedings of the Royal Geography; July to December, 1897 The white man 'has invented nothing to equal the Indian canoe for 'the purposes for which it is used. It is light and durable; it runs well, and is easily repaired; materials like those out of which it is built may be to repair damages at almost any place where an accident may happen, and the voyageurs understand how to make these repairs expeditiously. This is the canoe of history and poetry, the canoe of Longfellow's Hiawatha, the same that was used by Champlain and the other adventurous missionaries who, in Canada's early days, explored the St. Lawrence, the Great lakes, and the Mississippi river. It is still used by most surveyors and explorers for all their trans portation, and also by the Hudson's Bay Company to take in their goods and bring out their furs. Except for the black ies, mosquitbes, and midges or sand- ies, there is much that is enjoyable and even fascinating in exploring the northern wilds of Canada by following the canoe-routes. In toiling up a rapid river, we may at any turn come face to face with a picturesque fall, never before seen by white man. After portaging across a divide, we may on the same day have the enjoyment of descending a swift- owing stream, varied by the occasional excitement of running a dangerous rapid; or, in following a winding river, we may be surprised by its suddenly opening into a lake, so long that one cannot see the opposite end.
