Thanks for the info on the Eric Stiller book, Ralph. I made the mistake of putting Paul Caffyn's book down and have to get back "into" it. I brought in Distant Fires by Scott Anderson to post the info to the list. The ISBN is 0-938586-33-5 and it's a $12.95 paperback. The library call number is 797.122 Ande The publishers Pfeifer-Hamilton Publisher 1702 E Jefferson St Duluth, MN55812 218-728-6807 800-247-6789 seem to handle quite a few of these narratives as they "advertise" a few on the back pages and even have an order form Bering Bridge - The Soviet-American Expedition from Siberia to Alaska by Paul Schurke Quiet Magic by Sam Cook Up North by Sam Cook The author was in his early 20s at the time he and a friend did the 1,700 mile trip and the book won a 1991 Best Book for Young Adults award and yes, he did have a Duluth pack. I found it to be an easy read of their trials and tribulations - the Grand Portage, conditions, camping.... The Minnesota-York Factory trip was loosely based as a replica of the 1930 Port-Sevareid trip. sandy kramer miami *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
