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.
Folklore, legends, and ghost stories are at the core of Pennsylvania's culture and history. Various legends abound from all parts of the state, though none are as rich or full of charismatic characters as those along the Susquehanna River. From the myths and legends of the indigenous tribes, to the heroes and villains of the frontier, to the ghostly tales of those who still walk the banks of the muddy river; this is a book of their stories.
A terrific guide to the history of Eastern Pennsylvania and its environs. Historical Trails of Eastern Pennsylvania takes visitors through Revolutionary War battle sites; past Civil War encampments sites; up and over ancient, coal-rich mountain ranges; through one-of-a-kind history museums; and along back roads filled with quaint covered bridges and barns displaying hex signs. Part guidebook and part odyssey, it is a panoply of you-are-there history, richly textured landscapes, and old tales made new for adventurous travelers. As well as offering deep explorations of eastern Pennsylvania for residents and visitors, this book will delight armchair travelers who enjoy compelling narration. Anthony D.
