| Summary |
Considered the first documentation of recreational canoeing, this illustrated work was written by an avid sportsman who gave up shooting for canoeing when an accident left him unable to hold a rifle steady.ℓMacGregor designed his own canoes, modeled after Indian methods, that could be paddled with a double-bladed paddle or operated by sails.ℓExplaining why he chose canoeing, MacGregor wrote, “in walking you are bounded by every sea and river, and in a common sailing-boat you are bounded by every shallow and shore; whereas, ...a canoe [can] be paddled or sailed, or hauled, or carried over land or water.” |
