Description
Excerpt from The St. John River: In Marine, Quebec, and New Brunswick
The principal difficulty to be encountered in a work of this kind is the mass of detail, and the necessity of describing fifty or more different streams in more or less similar terms, without omitting facts that are of interest to the tourist, or stating them in the monotonous phraseology of the ordinary guide book. ''narratives of canoe voyages, stories of the camp, exploits of well known hunters and fishermen, are but passingly touched upon, the design being rather to state, as concisely as possible, what Objects of interest, opportunity for pleasurable outings, and facili ties for sport, await those who wish to visit the regions of Maine, Quebec, and New Brunswick, drained by the St. John, and its more important tributaries.
