New chapters will include, but not be limited to, Reimers' era, Chivers' era, Outpost, Staff-Guide Way and the other Keewaydins — including Dunmore. There will be new stuff on wood-canvas canoes, Lake Temagami, Grey Owl, Mattawa, Mattawa guides, Nishe, Heb Evans, old songs, old cookbooks, and many great stories from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. There are also some new early historical discoveries made since the first printing and will be included.  Photo spreads will be added on Keewaydin Archeology, Outpost, HBC posts visited and other subjects. More half-told stories you heard that were never finished. Now you'll get the endings.

The trip lists will be brought up to date, with expanded route descriptions and campers names for all trips since 1938. The glossary will be enlarged. Additional lists will include, but will not be limited to: Chivers Award, Keewaydin directors, Ojibway directors, canoe eras and wood-canvas canoe fleets.

There will be a pile of new maps and photos. We expect the second edition to be 400 pages, 100 per cent larger than the first edition.

And there's a ton more that I haven't mentioned. Got an hour?

Who will be the publisher?

Roy Waters Scholarship Fund. All proceeds from sales of the book will go to the fund to provide financial assistance to Keewaydin campers in need.

When will the next edition be out and in what form?

2003            Limited-edition hardcover

Will "Into the Second Century" be the subtitle?

No. That was just an early working title. The subtitle will be: The story of the world's oldest canoe-trip camp.

Where can I get a copy?

From the main office in Vermont. For the limited-edition hardcover, there will be a mailing to everyone on our database that year. If you're getting the Tattler you will have received notice.
