From the cover:

A true story of ingenuity and perseverance... of building a birch bark canoe with stone tools and paddling up the Connecticut River to rediscover the lost world of the Indians.

With his hand-carved cedar wood paddle, James Dina begins his arduous voyage up the Connecticut River to Canada, against both wind and current. But the real adventure began long before, when he resolved to rediscover the world of the Indians who once paddled these waters.

How he fashioned a canoe with only stone age tools, why he went upstream, what he learned about the minds and the hands of the forgotten ages... these are the subject of Voyage of the Ant.
