The Lonely Land

by Sigurd F. Olson, 1961

"The lonely land lies a thousand miles northwest of Lake Superior in upper Saskatchewan. Here the Churchill River, famed water trail of such early voyageurs as the Hudson's Bay fur traders, flows in a wandering course through one of the last great wildernesses of the continent. For 500 miles, the author and five Canadian friends retraced the trail of the voyageurs down the Churchill and the Sturgeon Weir rivers to the Saskatchewan. Sigurd F. Olson has added page after page to the lasting literature of the canoe, and the illustrations by Francis Lee Jaques, the canoe-country artist supreme, perfectly complement the text. Mr. Olson writes sensitively but also straightforwardly, without heroics."
--New York Times Book Review
