Synopsis
A collection of nature writing specifically about the attraction of the central Atlantic region. Broader in scope than traditional essays, the selections bring together all the outdoor experiences that have brought people closer to the land: exploration; science; travel; country life; conservation; hunting and fishing. Here are Whitman's musings on bird migration at midnight; John Lederer's account of the first record expedition, with native guides to the summit of the Blue Ridge mountains; Pendleton Kennedy's reflections on a 19th-century fishing trip to Blackwater River; and Tom Horton on serious dangers the Potomac continues to face. From the awe and wonder of the first explorers to cries for conservation from contemporary writers, this work gathers examples of our changing views of the natural world and the values we place on it.
