Voyage of the Paper Canoe: 2,500 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 1874-75 journey, in which he paddled a paper canoe some 2,500 miles from Quebec down inland waterways to the Gulf of Mexico, is being revisited through his firsthand account, available to read online. Readers are drawn to the unusual vessel — paper construction was a novelty at the time — and the vivid record of post-Civil War American rivers, coastlines and communities.

Why now: The newly accessible online text of this remarkable 19th-century travelogue is circulating and fascinating readers.
