dwight---->"Canoeing With the Cree", by Erik Sevareid.

Erik and Walter Port did the trip in approx 1930.  I believe they've both passed on to yonder.  The accomplishment given their age, their gear (or lack of), and the "times" was truely remarkable.

I think similar routes to York Factory have become quite popular (Grand Portage to York, Lake of Woods to York).  Check out this site for an overview, of a recent repeat of the exact Sevareid trip.
