Humans have always been drawn to explore their world. Our earliest ancestors walked (and sometimes rode) across the land. When they encountered shorelines and water, they created watercraftto navigate lakes, rivers, and oceans. Occasionally, they also built smaller replicas, many of which have become prized collectibles today.

Miniature canoes and kayaks are at the heart of this book—both Indigenous and factory-made artifacts that author Roger Young collected from around the world. He shares his discovery of varieties developed by vastly different, widespread Native cultural groups, then explains his ‘pivot’ to concentrate on counterparts from the earliest (1870-1930) North American commercial canoe manufacturers. These latter are extremely scarce factory ‘display’ items, often incorrectly called “salesman’s samples.” Along the way, he applies lessons learned through gathering art, antiques, and vintage hunting decoys, all the while suffering from ‘collector’s disease.’

Through this personal account of one collector’s quest to build a unique, high-quality gathering, Young shares his expertise, provides a valuable collectors’ guide, and offers the only book of its kind to explain and document the breadth of historical canoe factory samples.
