Toward magnetic north : the Oberholtzer-Magee 1912 canoe journey to Hudson Bay / photographs and journal excerpts by Ernest Carl Oberholtzer ; [project coordination, Jean Replinger].
Ernest Carl Oberholtzer was a central figure in the struggle to preserve the wilderness areas of the Minnesota-Ontario border, as well as an important advocate for the creation of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Toward Magnetic North is the story of Ernest Oberholtzer and Billy Magee's exploration of the then uncharted area of Saskatchewan up to Hudson Bay and into Manitoba. Oberholtzer's photos and journal entries capture the spirit of the wild places that he loved and admired.
