In the Footsteps of Grey Owl By Gary and Joanie McGuffin. In words and glorious full-colour photographs the McGuffins 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 forests. "In the Footsteps of Grey Owl contains more than 100 beautiful photographs in addition to the McGuffins' fascinating account of a unique adventure. E3004
