Having once dismissed the route from hearsay as not worth the labour, Thomas Steele set out in the autumn of 1880 to paddle from Moosehead Lake through Churchill, Spider and Mansungun Lakes to the Aroostook River. He records hard carries with three heavy canoes, guns, rods and a camera with seventy-five glass plates, and the wild country they crossed.
