Columbia River in BC or the Mattawa in Ontario to a doomed
expedition of voyageurs up the Nile to rescue Khartoum; from the
author's family roots deep in the Algonquin wilderness to modern

Canoe Country is Roy MacGregor's celebration of
the essential and enduring love affair Canadians have with our
first and still favourite means of getting around. Famous paddlers
have been so enchanted with the canoe that one swore God made
Canada as the perfect country in which to paddle it. Drawing on
MacGregor's own decades spent whenever possible with a paddle in
his hand, this is a story of high adventure on white water and the
sweetest peace in nature's quietest corners, from the author best
able (and most eager) to tell it.
