Listen "By and Large"
Episode Synopsis
By and Large is a story of a canoe voyage aboard a “Belle Isle” Special – Described in a 1910 advertisement as “The Triumph of the canoe builder’s art. Swift, Safe, Strong, Durable. Easy to paddle, comfortable, graceful.” From photographing timber wolves to baking pickerel over open coals, dodging rocks in roaring rapids, and drifting silently past deer on moonlit waters, this story isn't just about travel — it’s about immersion. Into solitude. Into wildness. Into a different way of moving through the world, but all under the guise of an advertisement for an excellent canoe. This article was published in the Press of Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1927, and the author is unknown.
