by John MacGregor
MacGregor is best known for his canoeing prowess and the development of the Rob Roy canoe through which he had an enormous effect on the sport of canoeing in England and also here in America. His voyages in Europe, the Baltic and in the Near East are fascinating works, and this single-handed voyage along the coast of France and across the channel to England is no less fascinating. MacGregor epitomized the 19th century Englishman; God, Duty, Country, King, etc., and these traits which are so evident in his canoeing writings are no less visible here. First published in 1867.
