Chapter Five
KEEWAYDIN - THE NORTHWEST WIND
| At winter's end, on April 7, 1938, returning from a North American lecture tour, Grey Owl stood in snow-shoes on the frozen surface of Lake Ajawaan for the last time. Six days later in his cabin, Beaver Lodge, he stepped foot on the ' Long Portage '. He died from exhaustion brought on by the very lecture tours that enabled " his " beaver { Canada's national emblem, the animal supreme of all the forests, that was the wilderness personified } to rest in peace.
