Canoeing in the Wilderness

Thoreau leaves the pond and heads for the deep woods. This account of his Maine journey by canoe follows dark rivers through moose country with his Penobscot guide, Joe Polis, whose skill and knowledge Thoreau watched with open admiration. You will discover the wildest Thoreau there is: campfires, rapids, night sounds, and reflections that still ring like an axe in cold air. Two hours of pure north woods. Push off with the sample.
