Basic river canoeing,

3rd edition, 1972, 103 pp. BASIC RIVER CANOEING will be equally valuable to a waterfront director of a youth camp, a guide for a group of river travelers, or a wanderer of far wilderness waters. It begins where flat-water canoeing books stop and simply and concisely describes how and why the components of wild water, canoe, and paddle equal high adventure. The author is an engineer who has applied his knowledge of hydraulics to the safe, sure handling of a canoe in roaring river rapids. With his wife, Edith, he has successfully competed in white water races in many parts of the U.S. ....more than a top-flight canoeist and slalom competitor, he's a competent teacher and an enthusiastic sharer of the skills you will need to master a thrilling sport.
