Voyage of the Paper Canoe: 2500 Miles from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico

Original: Voyage of the Paper Canoe: 2500 Miles from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, 1874-5

Nathaniel Bishop's 1870s account of paddling a paper canoe roughly 2,500 miles from Quebec down waterways to the Gulf of Mexico is being shared online. Readers are drawn to the unusual craft — a lightweight paper shell — and the vivid first-hand record of post-Civil War American rivers, towns and characters along the route.

Why now: Readers are rediscovering a freely available 19th-century travel classic describing an unusual small-craft expedition.
