Canoeing the Boundary Waters
Wilderness: A Sawbill Log |
| Canoeing the Boundary Waters Wilderness: A Sawbill Log continues the story of wilderness canoeing begun in A Boundary Waters History: Canoeing Across Time, this time offering historical information about black bear attacks on humans, loon calls and behaviors, lightning strikes on the waters, the experience of a woman going into labor while canoeing with her husband, the sighting of spectacular northern lights, and reflections on the wilderness experience. All the while Wilbers reflects on experiences canoeing with his family. As in the first book, quotes from some of Minnesota's well-known wilderness authors appear throughout the manuscript. | |

Teasing out the history of a
place celebrated for timelessness--where countless paddle
strokes have disappeared into clear waters--requires a sure
and attentive hand. Stephen Wilbers's account reaches back
to the glaciers that first carved out the Boundary Waters
and to the original inhabitants, as well as to generations
of wilderness explorers, both past and present. He does so
without losing the personal relationship built through a
lifetime of pilgrimages (anchored by almost three decades of
trips with his father). This story captures the untold
broader narrative of the region, as well as a thousand
different details sure to be recognized by fellow pilgrims,
like the grinding rhythm of a long portage or the loon call
that slips into that last moment before sleep. Buy this book now |
