Item description from seller

BRAND NEW & Collectible. First Edition, First Printing. Trumpet Special Edition. History of the Nashua River Valley 1400 - 1990. The some 40 mile long Nashua flows through Massaschuetts & New Hampshire. It is said 7000 years ago Algonquin-speaking Native-Americans named this sparkling river lined w/pebbles on its bed, the "Nash-a-way" (literally, River with the Pebbled Bottom),which became "Nashua". The river was so heavy in use for industry from Colonial times on that by early 19th century, the concentration of paper mills & use of dyes was so heavy that waters turned different colors factory downstream! Cloudy, colored waters, hidden pebbles, loss of fish & wildlife was clear. This is the story of ecologically minded, young Weeawa Native-American Oweana and his friend Marion, by walking along the river bed, persuaded communities to join forces in reviving the river. Everyone was one with the persuasive twosome who even carried along jars of dirty water for evidence. Working together, the Nashua flows afresh --- sparkling & clean, host to wild life, with pebbles glistening from its bed.
