My guess is you're referring to "Paddle-to-the-sea" by Holling C. 
Holling written in the 1940's.  It is  a book which I'm sure has special 
meaning for many paddlers (myself included), in lighting the spark of 
imagination for long distance paddling adventures.

It is still available from Amazon, etc.  You should also check out the 
movie version, done by famed Canadian paddler Bill Mason, and available 
on DVD.  A "must have" for any paddling video library.
