Dina, James
Voyage of the Ant.
... Written and experienced by a friend of mine who lives in South Windsor, CT. This book has photographs and line drawings depicting 'A Stone Age quest in a birch bark canoe built with tools of stone and bone' with which he 'completed an arduous canoe trip up the Connecticut River, against both wind and current'. I know that everything Jim does is not only perfect and perfectly functional - but is also done *completely* using traditional tools and techniques. He built this canoe over 15 years ago and it still floats as well as it did he day it was made!
