Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Summer Vacations at Moosehead Lake and Vicinity, a Practical Guide-Book for Tourists: Describing Routes for the Canoe-Man Over the Principal Waters of Northern Maine, With Hints to Campers, and Estimates of Expense for Tours
It then becomes a practical question, how deep into the forests must one penetrate with his birch-canoe to find this seclusion and relaxation, and what are the means of attaining them?
The advantage to canoe-men of having some definite and tangible information concerning the different lakes and water-courses over which their routes may take them, is too well known by those persons who have camped out in the woods of Maine to need proof. It often happens that the tourist comes to a part of a stream where the difficulty of further progress seems insurmountable. After successful efforts made to over come the Obstacles which first appeared, others take their place, and the chain seems unending. The luck less canoe-man in ignorance turns back disappointed, and seeks an easier route elsewhere, when, if he had but known it, smooth water and a picturesque and attractive course lay before him, within easy reach.
