B2R by the fire side. 'Canoeing with the Cree' - by Eric Sevareid

 Eric Sevareid is remembered mostly as a war correspondent and news journalist working from before WW2 till the 1980's.

But in his youth, in 1930, Sevareid and friend Walter Port travelled 2,250 miles from Minneapolis Minn. to York Factory on the Hudson Bay.

The trip took four months.

With no radio, motor or good maps the boys roughed bad weather, rapids and tough conditions to complete their journey as winter neared.

Since that took place 75 years ago, several people have taken it upon themselves to retrace the trip.

One of the books considered a classic in its area of appeal.
