Summary "Paddle and Portage, from Moosehead Lake to the Aroostook River, Maine" by Thomas Sedgwick Steele is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Steele's adventurous journey through the wilderness of Maine as he navigates with a party by canoe, facing various challenges along the way. The narrative focuses on the beauty of nature, the trials of exploration, and the camaraderie developed among the travelers. The opening of the book introduces the voyage, detailing the preparations made before embarking on the 400-mile canoe trip from Moosehead Lake to the Aroostook River. Steele describes the camaraderie with fellow traveler Colonel G. and their trio of guides, which includes an Indian, Thomas Nichols. The author's humorous observations and light-hearted banter as they set off give insight into the character dynamics within the group. The narrative establishes the themes of adventure, the connection to nature, and the logistical challenges faced by wilderness explorers, paving the way for tales of fishing, tracking wildlife, and overcoming the perils of the rugged terrain.
