Canoe and Camera: A Two Hundred Mile Tour Through The Maine Forests is a travelogue written by Thomas Sedgwick Steele in 1882. The book details Steele's two hundred mile journey through the wilderness of Maine, USA, in a canoe, accompanied by his camera. Steele's aim was to capture the beauty of the Maine forests on film and in words, and he does so with great skill and enthusiasm.The book is divided into ten chapters, each covering a different stage of Steele's journey. He begins in Bangor, Maine, and travels north and west, through forests, lakes and rivers, encountering wildlife and meeting local people along the way. Steele's descriptions of the landscape are vivid and evocative, and his photographs provide a fascinating glimpse into a world that has since changed beyond recognition.Throughout the book, Steele reflects on the relationship between man and nature, and the impact of industrialization on the environment. He also discusses the history of the region, including the Native American tribes who once lived there, and the early European settlers who transformed the landscape.Canoe and Camera: A Two Hundred Mile Tour Through The Maine Forests is a fascinating and beautifully written account of a journey through one of America's most stunning wilderness areas. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and natural beauty of Maine, or in the early days of travel and photography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
