(Nathaniel Holmes) 1837 1902 Bishop, Nathaniel Holmes Voyage of the Paper Canoe A Geographical Journey of 2500 Miles, from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, During the Years 1874-5 "Voyage of the Paper Canoe" by Nathaniel H. Bishop is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century, specifically in 1878. The book documents the author's adventurous journey in a paper canoe from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of approximately 2,500 miles, highlighting the unique experience of paddling through various waterways while interacting with diverse landscapes and communities. At the start of the narrative, Bishop introduces the premise of his journey, outlining his initial departure from Quebec in a wooden canoe with an assistant. Shortly into the voyage, he transitions to a lighter, innovative paper canoe that he had learned about while stopping in Troy, New York. The opening chapters describe the challenges he faced during the early stages of the expedition, including navigating the unpredictable tides and currents of the St. Lawrence and Richelieu rivers, as well as the hospitality he received from the southern communities. Bishop's detailed observations about the geography, historical context, and local cultures set the stage for an exploration that promises adventure, personal reflection, and an appreciation of nature.
