Description
This book explores a small tidal river that enters Massachusetts Bay between Boston and Plymouth. It is the first state-designated scenic river, brimming with history from pre-colonial times.
It survived state-approved plans to dam the river and develop its extensive salt marshes.
Its story informs our future in a world of climate change.
- Tales of the river and its amazing people (and fish) -- shipbuilders, toolmakers, storytellers, ministers, river pilots, fishermen, farmers, salt hayers, scientists, and politicians John Quincy Adams and Daniel Webster
- More than 140 images, some rare, including before, and after, the 1898 storm that transformed the river
- Highly readable writing, about 300 pages, with thorough endnotes
- Deep research on environmental issues
