Book excerpt: "Canoeing with the Cree" is a 1935 book by Eric Sevareid recounting a 2,250 mile canoe trip from Minneapolis, Minnesota to York Factory on the Hudson Bay. With only an 18-foot canoe, little cash, and a bad map, the boys spent four months racing the oncoming winter; paddling through dangerous rapids, inclement weather, and hungry mosquitoes, they barely survived with their lives. Drawn from the journals they kept, "Canoeing with the Cree" remains a simple, but fantastic, classic travel-adventure book.Contents:We're Off!The New LifeSnakes!Tragedy-AlmostRed River MudReady For The PlungeInto The Land Of The CreeThe Royal Northwest MountedHumiliation Of The "Sans Souci""The Die Is Cast"Canoeing With The CreeGod's CountryThe Great TestVictory-And Pine AppleHalf-Breeds And MuskegEnd Of The TrailFuji Books' edition of "Canoeing With The Cree" contains supplementary texts:* "Canoeing In The Wilderness", By Henry David Thoreau.* "Snow Shoes And Canoes", By William Henry Giles Kingston.* "Call Of The Wild", By Jack London.
