The 1911 journal recounts a canoe trip in two legs, the first left from Old Forge, rowed the Fulton Chain and beyond to Upper Saranac Lake. The second began on Lake Champlain at Fort Henry and ended at Lake George Village. For those who enjoy specs, they paddled a 17-foot White canoe with a Morris yoke for eight days, traveling 135 miles by water, including 17 lakes, and rowed an estimated 47,520 strokes.
