Synopsis:
Emerging from the Catskills, the Delaware River winds along the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey to the Atlantic, offering hundreds of miles of magnificent scenery.
Its sparkling waters supported the Lenape tribes growing maize along its banks. English explorers sailed the river in search of the mythical Lake Laconia, believed to be the source of all northeastern rivers. Urban growth pitted railroads, industry and energy companies against protectionists in continuing fights over appropriate use of the river. Hunting, fishing and boating remain vital local traditions passed from one generation to the next. Author Frank H. Moyer charts the life and legacy of the mighty Delaware.
About the Author: Frank Harris Moyer grew up along the Delaware River and continues hunting, fishing and boating on its water today. A retired educator, Moyer is an avid collector of Delaware River duck decoys. He is a member of the New Jersey Geography Alliance and resides in Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania.
