Description

“She’s all my fancy painted her, she’s lovely, she is light. She waltzes at the waves by day and rests with me at night. But I had nothing to do along with her painting. The person who built her did that. And I commence with the canoe because that may be about the very first thing you want on entering the Northern Wilderness.” Thus opened Nessmuk’s first commissioned “letter” for Forest and Stream in 1880. For years thereafter, George Washington Sears, under the penname Nessmuk, contributed a wonderful series of pieces on canoeing the Adirondacks, exploring rivers and streams, mountain climbing the various mountains and peaks, and chronicling his long relationship with one of the most greatest canoe builders, J. Henry Rushton.
