In words and glorious full-colour photographs Gary and Joanie McGuffin take us on a 1,200-mile canoe trip through some of the most breathtaking ancient forests in northwestern Ontario, an area
made famous by the popular writer/conservationist Grey Owl. The 3-month journey takes place in the region between Temagami and Algoma, including the Sturgeon, Spanish, Mississagi, Aubinadong,
and Montreal Rivers. This is Grey Owl territory; where he lived, trapped, fished, hunted, manned firetowers, canoed rivers, and portaged across watersheds. The McGuffins incorporate quotations
from Grey Owl’s writings and details of his life and travels into their own story as they explore the romance and mystical beauty that surrounds the ancient forests. In the Footsteps of Grey
Owl contains more than 100 beautiful photographs in addition to the McGuffins’ fascinating account of a unique adventure.
