Summary: "Voyage of the Paper Canoe" by Nathaniel H. Bishop is a geographical travelogue written in the late 19th century. The narrative recounts the author's adventurous journey in a lightweight paper canoe, navigating through the waterways of North America, from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico. Central to the book is Bishop's exploration of various interconnected rivers and lakes, shedding light on the geography and cultures encountered along the way. At the start of the book, the author prepares for his voyage, emphasizing the unique characteristics of his paper canoe and the intention to traverse as many natural waterways as possible with minimal portages. After departing from Quebec on July 4, 1874, his journey unfolds with descriptions of stunning landscapes, challenges faced in navigating the currents, and interactions with the local communities along the route. He makes notable references to the extinct Great Auk and the maritime dangers posed by icebergs, illustrating the rich and often perilous nature of his expedition.
