Fifty six short chapters trace the course of this river, the largest on the East Coast, through New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland to the bay. A Keystone Book.
"Along the river tour, Jack Brubaker examines the natural and human history of the Susquehanna, exploring how the river has been used and abused, as well as its current condition and future prospects. He explains how the unusually shallow, rocky river has substantially altered its drainage pattern over geologic time and how it continues to cut channels while erasing and creating islands." "With the aid of more than 70 maps and illustrations, Down the Susquehanna to the Chesapeake provides a bold new look at a dynamic old river. This journey brings alive the Susquehanna, its history, and the colorful personalities who live along its banks."--BOOK JACKET.
In Susquehanna, River of Dreams award-winning journalist Susan Q. Stranahan tells the sweeping story of one of America's great rivers – ranging in time from the Susquehanna's geologic origins to the modern threats to its eco-system, describing human settlements, industry and pollution, and recent efforts to save the river and its "drowned estuary," the Chesapeake Bay. The result is a unique natural history of the vast Susquehanna watershed and a compelling look at environmental issues of national importance.
Excerpt from Down the Historic Susquehanna: A Summer's Jaunt From Otsego to the Chesapeake Casting about for a reason, it seems to me that the fame of the Susquehanna has two distinct setbacks which have led to its comparative neglect by travelers in search of the picturesque or fond of tracing the footsteps of American history.
