The Indian Girl was designed by J.H. Rushton, America's premier canoe builder, for the burgeoning market of pleasure paddlers. Wood-canvas construction was pioneered in Maine and first offered commercially in the mid 1870s. Wood-canvas became the standard for canoes primarily because it was so much cheaper than all wood construction. A wood-canvas canoe is watertight due to a canvas covering stretched over a wooden hull in which the planks are merely butted together. After it is fastened to the wooden hull, the canvas is "filled" to make it waterproof and then painted. This model features strip plank construction and is intended to introduce beginners to this type of building method.

Best Children's Book of 2024
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
My bibliophile kids (11 and 8) and I adore this book. The illustrations are delightfully inviting, the children are magically independent and loving, and the story encapsulates the gentle chaos of childhood in such a beautiful way. Highly recommend.

Great book!
Format: Hardcover
I hate when my kids make messes so this was the perfect book for me. It put things in perspective that messes aren't always a bad thing.

Must Have Book
Format: Hardcover
We purchased this book after having read a New York Times article on the author-illustrator. Loren Long. What an amazing book! I love the story line and the beautifully illustrated pages. Our 7 year old grandson doesn't tire of "reading" the pictures along with the story. The illustrations are loaded with subjects to talk about, along with the peaceful refrain that repeats throughout the book, "And they filled her with joy." This book fills us with joy. Thanks, Loren Long. Another great children's book.
