"To recapture the colorful past of the Minnesota-Ontario boundary lakes region, J. Arnold Bolz traveled an early canoe route from Grand Portage on Lake Superior through the Quetico-Superior area to Rainy Lake. Using descriptions found in early diaries and travel accounts, he relates his experiences to those of the explorers, trappers, and voyageurs who preceded him. Through their eyes, he sees the landmarks along the route and finds that the lakes and rivers, as well as the thrilling of exploring, have changed little in 250 years. This book will be a delight for anyone who has vacationed or canoed in the north country and will serve as a guide for those who wish to do what the author did - make a portage into the past."--Back cover.
