"The Tent Dwellers" by Albert Bigelow Paine is a travel narrative published in 1908, chronicling a three-week fishing expedition through the unspoiled wilderness of inland Nova Scotia. Accompanied by his companion Dr. Edward Breck and two local guides, Paine ventures into what is now Kejimkujik National Park in search of trout. The journey reveals both the rugged beauty and harsh realities of early twentieth-century backcountry camping—encounters with wildlife, relentless insects, physical hardships, and the profound rewards of conquering the wilderness and discovering one's own soul.
