A beautiful package. The Canoe: An Illustrated History explores the role of this elegantly simple craft in history and modern culture. The canoe has brought together Native Americans and European colonists, promoted exploration, and changed the economy forever with the onset of the fur trade. Hundreds of years later, it continues to hold practical, ceremonial, and totemic significance for many North Americans. A beautifully illustrated history of one of North America's most enduring cultural symbols and recreational pastimes. There is hardly a river or lake in North America that was not first seen from the gunwale of a canoe. With accounts of historic canoe trips and infamous battles, detailed explanations of Native American canoe-building techniques, and more than 80 photographs, The Canoe is a must-read for paddlers and history buffs alike. Centuries before the invention of the train and the motorboat, canoes were used for exploration, trade, war, and the hunt. Indians crafted canoes out of dugout logs, birch bark, and animal hides; French colonists employed courier canoes; and the Spanish explorers brought cane and woodcrafts with them to new lands. 45 color photographs.He captures the canoe's central role in the lives of Stone Age people, Native Americans, European explorers, and Canadian and American fur traders, and he describes the way contemporary North Americans have made the canoe not only a source of recreation but also a link to the continent's history.
