The first comprehensive natural history guide to the Connecticut River and its environs, with more than 750 illustrations The Connecticut River, New England's longest and most historic river, originates in northern New Hampshire and wends more than four hundred miles to Long Island Sound. It forms the border between Vermont and New Hampshire and widens significantly as it makes its way through Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Connecticut River Valley is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the eastern United States, and more than two million people live in the watershed. Renowned naturalist Patrick J. Lynch offers readers an expansive guide to this majestic region with more than 750 original maps, photographs, and illustrations. Organized around environments rather than particular locations, the book includes geological overviews and descriptions of common plants and animals. Lynch also explains the landscape's environmental history as well as the effects of centuries of human interventions and the growing fallout from climate change. This indispensable guide not only brings the Connecticut River's ecology and pivotal role in American history to life but instills a deeper appreciation for the river's diverse and abundant beauty.

Excerpt from Connecticut River Reeds: Blown by the "Peasant Bard" The greater part of his life was passed in the town of his birth, Gill, on the Connecticut River, a locality where Nature has done much to make beautiful the surroundings of the rural homes clustered among the hills that margin the winding course of the river. Its quiet scenes of changing foliage and moving life in woods and field were a constant inspiration to him. His cares, pertaining to farm life, together with duties imposed by public trusts in town and county, were many, but with all he found time to jot down in poetic form thoughts which-came to him, colored and made beautiful by his intense love of Nature's work, never losing Sight of a Divine Power controlling all. The rugged and picturesque beauty of Mr. Canning's poetry has given it a place in the hearts of its readers, and is loved by the people who live along his much-loved river, as the poems of Whittier are loved by the people of the Merrimac Valley.
