Dan and Betsy got me From a Wooden Canoe for my birthday. Its a fantastic book that is a collection of ramblings about canoeing and the outdoors. Each chapter contains information about the author, his love of the outdoors, as well as the subject matter. There is much to be learned in this book there is a chapter on tumplines one on knives, and many others.

A great book to pull down on a rainy day and read a bit of.
