Description: "A well-traveled New York sophisticate, Florence Page Jaques fell in love with northern Minnesota during her first trips to the region, and recounted those early travels in Canoe Country and Snowshoe Country. She writes of the excitement of traveling by foot, canoe, snowshoe, and dogsled. Weeks of solitude canoeing through the Boundary Waters are interrupted by encounters with the denizens of the north country: Native Americans preserving the vestiges of traditional culture, colorful and sometimes eccentric lumberjacks and trappers, and hard-working homesteaders."--Pub. website.

Includes drawings of wildlife, birds, scenery, etc. of the Boundary Waters area (Minnesota and the Lake Superior region of Northwestern Ontario).
Notes: Illustrated title on two leaves; illustrated lining-papers.
