''An eminently readable, nicely researched tour de force that goes on my must-reading list for anyone interested in knowing the Chesapeake Bay.''--Tom Horton, Baltimore Sun.''This excellent book about the Susquehanna River is as good as, and maybe better than, the celebrated Rivers of America series books . . . Much more comprehensive than most river histories published before the recent rise of concern about dangerous water pollution.''--John Goodspeed, Easton Star-Democrat.''Susan Q. Stranahan could well know more about the present natural state of the Susquehanna River and its 27,500-square-mile watershed than anyone . . . She has written a fine book, well-researched and detailed, a thrilling account.''--Richard L. Stanton, Philadelphia Inquirer.
