5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books I have ever read,
By Jerry Schneider (Idaho Falls, Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Land (Paperback)
I was looking on information on old canoe routes of the voyageurs and I came upon this book. It tells the experiences of Olson, a famous naturalist of the 50's and 60's, and 5 of his friends, as they paddle three wood and canvas canoes down 500 miles of the Churchhill River in Saskatchewan in 1960. Olson describes the setting and experience so completely, including diary entries of famous fur trappers who traveled the same route, that I have thought of nothing else but going to see the country he describes, the Canadian Shield of Northern Saskatchewan. It is a different place now than it was 40 years ago, less lonely I imagine, but still something I must do. I would recommend this book to anyone who longs to experience this land, North America, before it became overpopulated.

The best of Sigurd Olson & the Northwoods,
By daledgy@aol.com (Tubac, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Land (Paperback)
This is a book I can pick up and read anytime I need to feel the fresh clean air of the Canadian Northwoods. Olson & 5 other experienced and accomplished comrades follow the route of the early Voyageurs down 500 miles of the wild Churchill river. A bonding of men, rich in history, enough adventure to stir the imagination of any outdoorsman or armchair adventurer. I have read this book many times, it has become a comfortable old friend.

The Lonely Land,
By "bruhndk" (Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Land (Paperback)
It's a great book. I haven't paddled the Churchhill River yet, but rivers closeby, and you still find the wilderness and the loneliness that Sig Olson describes. After reading this book and others by Sig Olson I just want to go out paddling and enjoy the wilderness.
