About this product

Product Information

There is hardly a river or lake in North America that was t first seen from the gunwale of a cae. Centuries before the invention of the train and the motorboat, caes were used for exploration, trade, war, and the hunt. Indians crafted caes out of dugout logs, birch bark, and animal hides; French colonists employed courier caes; and the Spanish explorers brought cane and woodcrafts with them to new lands. The cae has brought together Native Americans and European colonists, promoted exploration, and changed the ecomy forever with the onset of the fur trade. Hundreds of years later, it continues to hold practical, ceremonial, and totemic significance for many North Americans. The Cae: An Illustrated History explores the role of this elegantly simple craft in history and modern culture. With accounts of historic cae trips and infamous battles, detailed explanations of Native American cae-building techniques, and more than 80 photographs, The Cae is a must-read for paddlers and history buffs alike. A beautiful package. 45 color photographs.
