by Elon Jessup.
A very practical work, designed for the youngster but with sufficient real and useful information for the beginning adult. It's not written condescendingly, and indeed the "Boy's" in the title must surely be young adults in view of the very adult presentation of the material. Contents: Choosing Your Canoe; Canoeing Safety; The Canoe as a Life-Preserver; Double-Blade Paddling; Single-Blade Paddling; Bucking the Current; Downstream Canoeing; Open-Water Canoeing; Canoe Camping; Carrying Across; The Care and Repair of Canoes; and Canoe Sailing. First published in 1926. Illustrated with 47 line drawings and 6 full-page photographs.
