My good friend loves finding hidden treasures at used book stores and he succeeded in this one. Although this was written in 1961 and about a canoe trip through northwest Canada it says so much about today‘s society

Tamra Love it when books have drawn illustrations - sadly it doesn‘t seem to happen much anymore. 1y

If a man can pack a heavy load across a portage, if he can do whatever it takes without complaint and with good humor, it makes little difference what his background has been. And if he can somehow keep alive a spark of adventure and romance as the old-time voyageurs seem to have done, then any expedition becomes more than a journey through wild country. It becomes a shining challenge and an adventure of the spirit.
