À propos de cet audio

 In 1930, two novice paddlers - Eric Sevareid and Walter C. Port - launched a secondhand 18-foot canvas canoe from the Minnesota River at Fort Snelling for an ambitious summer-long journey from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. Without benefit of radio, motor, or good maps, the teenagers made their way over 2,250 miles of rivers, lakes, and difficult portages.

Nearly four months later, after shooting hundreds of sets of rapids and surviving exceedingly bad advice, the ragged, hungry adventurers arrived in York Factory on Hudson Bay - with winter freeze-up on their heels.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"An amazing journey iof bold youth, the work blends memoir, documentary and adventure. Farrell makes us feel the author's nostalgia as he looks back at his youth with a glimmer in his eye and wonder that he made it through alive." ( AudioFile)

The story is wonderful, and takes you on an amazing and almost impossible journey. A great companion to Adventure North with two youths recreating the trip in 2008.
I thought the reading was a little rushed with very little emotion.

Clearly, the story is a great one. Kuddos to the boys for taking on the adventure, and having the grit for seeing it through. I was cringing throughout listening to the American “better than thou” mentality, despicable language and attitude towards First Nations people. The title to me suggested a story of spending time with the Cree, and seeing the privilege of learning from their historical knowledge. I did not get the sense of this in any way shape or form.

Rife with antiquated language around First Nations people.
