"Historic Waterways—Six Hundred Miles of Canoeing Down the Rock, Fox, and Wisconsin Rivers" by Reuben Gold Thwaites is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book chronicles the author's extensive canoeing adventures across significant rivers in the Midwest, specifically focusing on their experiences from Madison, Wisconsin, to the Mississippi River. It delves into the beauty of the natural landscapes encountered during the journey, weaving in elements of local history and culture. The opening of "Historic Waterways" sets the stage for Thwaites's canoeing expedition during the summer of 1887. As he and his companion prepare to embark on their adventure, the text introduces the reader to the anticipation of exploration and the allure of nature. Thwaites reflects on the contrast between the classical tourist destinations and the hidden treasures of local scenery that one can discover while canoeing. He vividly describes the landscapes, flora, and fauna they witness, painting a rich backdrop for their journey. Anecdotes about interactions with local inhabitants and the trials experienced along the rivers hint at the adventures and misadventures that await them, establishing an engaging tone for the tales to come.
