About this title: In 1930, two novice paddlers - Eric Sevareid and Walter C Port - launched a second-hand 18-foot canvas canoe into the Minnesota River at Fort Snelling for an ambitious summer-long journey from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. Without benefit of radio, motor, or good maps, the teenagers made their way over 2250 miles of rivers, lakes, and difficult portages. Nearly four months later, after shooting hundreds of sets of rapids and surviving exceedingly bad conditions and even worse advice, the ragged, hungry adventurers arrived in York Factory on Hudson Bay - with winter freeze-up on their heels. ...

"Again, true adventure isn't usually my favorite genre, but this one is worth it. As a young man, future news caster Eric Severeid and a friend canoe from the twin cities to Hudson Bay."
"Like the hangover cure for 'Deliverance', Sevareid's boyish writing delivers all the goods for adventure-seekers with a good-hearted spirit and optimism that's hard to find nowadays. The book is definately a nostalgia trip; these were times when asking strangers for help in the middle of nowhere was okay, and riding all the way up the country was a plausible possibility. A quick, exciting read."
