Review by MICHAEL PEAKE --
Che-Mun Editor
This is quite a different type of canoe book and a novel idea. Originally done years ago as an archeological project for official purposes, the book created enough interest to proceed with a proper printing. The book is dedicated to Eric W. Morse, one of the early recreational canoeists in the far north and claimed as the creator of the oft-visited cairn at Helen Falls on the Hanbury River. (Morse said it was there when he arrived in 1962 and it's true identity is revealed here.)
The entries are shown as they were written and vary widely in interest and legibility. Some nice photos are included including Morse's. All in all a unique and interesting read of the feelings of passing wilderness paddlers.
