""A superbly humanizing portrait of a famous New Brunswicker that took me well beyond where I expected to go as a reader -- from the nineteenth-century apple wars to the Yukon River, tense family dynamics, and the halls of toxic academia. At the core of this biography is the transformative education that Adney received from Wəlastəkokewiyik and the profound effects of that education on his life and work. We can learn a great deal from his successes and his failures."" ""I'm delighted to hear that the Adney biography is reaching publication, news that is as promising and welcome as it is overdue."" ""Tappan Adney and the canoe are New Brunswick icons. Here, we see Adney as a Renaissance man able to move between worlds, from New York City to the settlements of Indigenous people, whose culture and rights he championed. The authors ensure he will not be forgotten."" ""Tappan Adney is acknowledged as the foremost canoe scholar of all time. Now the rest of his extraordinary life is told in this superb and comprehensive biography. It details his remarkable accomplishments in a wide range of pursuits: canoe building, art, ornithology, heraldry, and the study of Indigenous culture and language."" ""Tappan Adney was a frequent visitor to our home on the reserve. He came to talk with my father, Peter Paul, and learn our language. Here is the Tappan Adney we did not know as children -- he was no ordinary man and what he accomplished throughout the years with Indigenous people was amazing.""
