Canoeing in the Wilderness by Henry David Thoreau

4.0

Considering this is happened in 1850's, it's a pretty interesting read. I can't say there are many descriptions of the wilderness. It is more like a diary and perhaps an ode to the resourcefulness of Polis. Polis is interestingly described, it's a pity that there are no books from his perspective. Every now and then Henry and his friend got lost or screwed up, and Polis had to look for them. It would be interesting to hear his thinking: have they gone astray again? I really liked that Henry and Polis became friends in the end, even though they didn't see each other again after the trip.
