OK, so this is a long shot... About 6 years ago I bought a book at the Piragis shop about a teacher who decided to travel to Canada ( I think Winnipeg) and go on this long solo canoe voyage, probably in the 1800's but maybe early 1900's. I'm fairly certain the cover had an island surrounded by mist on it.

I cannot for the life of me remember the title and looking at the Piragis Catalog, I don't see it or anything that matches its description. Do any of you know what book I'm talking about and if so, what on earth its called?

Is it the one by Eric Severeid?

No, it isn't Canoeing with the Cree.

This?

YES! Thank you!!!!!!!

Goby,
Am always looking for a good canoeing book to read, so I took the info from your post and tracked down a copy of "Sleeping Island." I am about half way thru the book and am thoroughly enjoying it.
Thanks for the recommendation.

+1 - I got this book several years ago and really enjoyed it.

Glad you like it! I'm sad that I have lost my original copy, as it travelled with me on my first solo trip to Quetico.
