  • Paperback
Condition: clean copy, name of previous owner on first page, upper right hand corner.
Content: In Greenville, New Hampshire, Henri Vaillancourt makes birch-bark canoes in the same manner and with the same tools that the Indians used. He sews the bark and lashes it to the gunwales with the split roots of spruce or white pine, no nails, no screws, no rivets. This book is the story of the building of birch-bark canoes and of a 150 mile trip through the Maine woods in one of those crafts.
216 pages, including A Portfolio of the sketches and models of Edwin Tappan Adney (186801950).
