| Arctic Cairn Notes |
| Canoeists' Reflections on the Hanbury-Thelon & Kazan Rivers |
| ||||||
| Wilderness canoeing is a vital part of the North's heritage. |
| What do Sarah The Duchess of York, former Prime Ministers Pierre Trudeau and John Turner, canoeing pioneer Eric Morse, the legendary John Hornby, veteran barrenlands travellers George Luste and Alex Hall, CTV newsman Craig Oliver, singer Gordon Lightfoot, writer David Pelly and Japanese solo-tripper Akitoshi Nishimura all have in common? They are all in this book, because they all left notes in a cairn beside one of these Arctic rivers. Arctic Cairn Notes is a facsimile collection of nearly 200 hand-written notes left behind by Arctic travellers. In years to come it will be an important historical reference. Today, already, it is a fascinating read. "Memorable for its brief glimpses into the minds of people who are experiencing something grand." Up here Magazine "... many of the notes reflect on the long trip ... some are poetic.... This book is interesting reading." Barb Paquin CBC Radio |
