Distant Fires: Duluth to Hudson Bay
Distant Fires Duluth to Hudson Bay
Author: Scott Anderson
"The waves on Lake Superior nearly splattered them all over the cliffs, and mosquitoes almost ate them alive in the Boundary Waters. Halfway through the three-month trip, they buried their underwear. But who needs underwear when you?re 22 years old and living out the adventure of a boyhood dream?" ?St. Paul Pioneer Press "Distant Fire...  more », a true-life adventure, describes a 1,700-mile canoe trip from Duluth to York Factory on Hudson Bay. Anderson and a companion retraced the paddles taken by Eric Sevareid and a companion almost sixty years earlier. Their trials and tribulations, plus Anderson?s sense of humor, make the trip fun in book form. Pen-and-ink illustrations are by noted Minnesota wildlife artist Les Kouba." ?Minneapolis Star Tribune "Distant Fires is a voyage of discovery. Scott Anderson is an inquisitive traveler, and when he sees something that piques his interest, he stops for a chat. He also has a marvelous eye for the natural world that surrounds him in his summerlong journey. He is a natural-born writer." ?Duluth News Tribune "Some of [Anderson?s] phrasing is very happy indeed: ?the resting place of the rivers.? I wish I had written that." ?Eric Sevareid
