Autorenporträt

John MacGregor (1825-1892), often remembered as 'Rob Roy' MacGregor, was a British explorer, travel writer, philanthropist, and early pioneer of canoeing. His seminal work, 'A Thousand Miles in the Rob Roy Canoe on Rivers and Lakes of Europe' published in 1866, chronicles his adventurous journey across the waterways of Europe in a specially designed canoe named 'Rob Roy'. This book not only provided readers with vivid descriptions of the landscapes and peoples he encountered but also laid the groundwork for the sport of canoeing as we know it today. MacGregor's literary style was marked by a blend of enthusiastic narration and thoughtful observation, making his travel log both informative and engrossing. The book gained considerable popularity, prompting MacGregor to embark on further voyages and author additional accounts. His pioneering spirit and his passion for travel did much to inspire the recreational outdoor movement of the late 19th century. MacGregor's legacy endures through his books, which continue to be of interest to paddling enthusiasts and armchair adventurers alike.
