Summary "A Tour to the River Saguenay, in Lower Canada" by Charles Lanman is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. This non-fiction work chronicles Lanman's personal journey through the picturesque landscapes of Canada, particularly focusing on the beauty of the Catskill Mountains and beyond. It encompasses themes of nature, fishing, and the varied experiences he encounters along his travels, offering insights into the wilderness and its inhabitants. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Lanman's adventures in the Catskill Mountains as he awakens determined to indulge his passion for fishing.
