Voyage of the Paper Canoe

Here's a travel journal from 1874 about a guy who paddled from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico in a 16' paper canoe (he seems to have traded an 18' canoe for the paper one in NY).  Part of his journey took him inside the NC Outer Banks.  The NC section begins on page 88.  Fascinating stuff.
