Summary of Scott Weidensaul's The First Frontier

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The men in the canoes were skilled, but they knew disaster was just a moment away. They were navigating among the islands of wôbanakik, a beautiful but dangerous edge of the world. #2 The Wapánahki were not a unified people. The languages spoken by those living far away were similar but subtly different from those of Kt?`h?n?to and his relatives.
They knew that they inhabited the most beautiful part of the world, and they felt slightly superior to all other people. #3 The people were able to hunt and gather wôbanakik, which provided them with food in the spring. The summers were also good, with little frosts that lasted only a short time. #4 The canoes carrying Kt?`h?n?to and his companions rounded the last of the small islands, facing the swells again.
The strange vessel was clearly visible, sitting quietly in a natural harbor among several islands, its trees bare of skins, the figures of men silhouetted against the sky.
