Description:Join the author on a journey over ancient trails dating back to fur trade days as you paddle and portage your way into remote headwaters. Cross quaking string bogs by tortuous routes in mosquito heaven. When the trail finally peters out in tangles of Labrador tea, follow a compass bearing onward through unbroken wilderness to an unnamed lake. Discover a secluded tent site, and in the unearthly stillness of the evening listen to the call of the loons, or if you are lucky, the distant cry of a wolf.You can imagine that you are exploring new country in this land of the beaver and moose. Yet you know that sometime in the dim and distant past, your lost lake has seen paddles dipped into its waters, snowshoe tracks made upon its frozen surface, or moccasin footprints pressed softly into caribou moss along its shores. As these ancient trails gradually disappear, a bit of history vanishes along with them. Herein lies the story of at least a few of them, as travelled and photographed by the author.Prominent paddler Stewart Coffin lives in Andover, Massachusetts. The former canoeing editor for Appalachia, his canoeing adventures have been the subject of numerous magazine articles. My Black Spruce Journals chronicles his fifty years of canoe-tripping in New England and the wilds of Canada.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
