SynopsisTo celebrate Canada's Centennial, ten men paddled a canoe from British Columbia to Quebec. They relived the challenges of "Les Vrais Voyageurs," fishing, hunting and sleeping under the stars. They survived treacherous rapids, waterfalls and exhausting portages. Van Tamelen, the crew's bowman, tells their story. This is a book that will leave any outdoor adventurer begging for more. "You, and all members of your crew, are deserving of our most sincere congratulations on the realization of a Centennial project of this magnitude.
