- "Enthusiasts of the wood-and-canvas canoe have been
waiting a hundred years for this book." —Tom Hill, WoodenBoat
- "The pages of this book will interest anyone who has ever paddled a canoe and wondered about its origins." —Canoe
This rich history begins with the birchbark canoe, follows
the turn-of-the-century canoe craze when builders such as Eve
Gerrish, E. M. White, B. N. Morris, and others perfected the
art of the wood-and-canvas canoe, then takes us step by step
through the construction of an E. M. White-designed 18-footer.
Fold-out plans are included. Detailed information is also provided
on canoe repair, restoration, and maintenance. Jerry Stelmok
builds new E. M. White designs and adaptations at Island Falls Canoe, and Rollin Thurlow builds, repairs, and restores canoes
at his
Northwoods Canoe Shop.
