Found this while doing research.

I'm sure many of you think about the history of your canoes while you are working on them. While being from Colorado, canoe culture isn't to prevalent. So in part, I'm learning about the boat liveries back in the day.

I found this blog entry while doing some more online research on E. L. Marks (my canoe's previous owner). I find this pretty interesting and pretty neat.

I hope he continues the story.

This and the story of your restoration would make a great article for the Wooden Canoe Journal. A big part of the fun with an old canoe for me are the stories that go along with them. Thanks,

Benson

Hello Benson,

I'll think about that. I am in no way an authority in this. But I will try to document what I can.

I went back to this blog and discovered that the rest of the story was added. Looks like he did The 90 Miler. Or something close to it.
