A Boundary Waters History: Canoeing Across Time

A very interesting book

A good mix of the history of the Boundary Waters and the author’s 20+ years of canoe trips into the BWCA lakes with his father and others

I like a memoir that tells a good tale. Wilbers does just that. His writing is excellent, and he keeps up pulled in with his stories of canoeing with his father and other friends. I, too, in my youth canoed the Boundary Waters reularly, and reading this book gave me great pleasure. There are also several photographs. You'll love this book if you a fan of the BWCA.

More of a journal by the author and his party than a history of the BW. Many enjoyable stories and experiences but I was looking for more on the history end.

My boyfriend and I got this to take on our first trip into the boundary waters. Great stories and we found out we even ended up camping at the same site that the writer and his family did on one occasions. Really fun to read while in the boundary waters but would be good anywhere.

A quote from the book's Foreword:..."this book is a record of nearly thirty years of canoe trips, taken almost entirely in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota." Having travelled in the area a number of times, I find the writing and photographs wonderful reminders of this incomparable place.

Great book. Enjoyed reading of the trips into the Boundry Waters.

A nice mix of the area's history mixed with personal tripping experiences. Found this to be a fast, enjoyable read.
