Two Hundred Miles On The Delaware River A Canoe Cruise From Its Headwaters To The Falls At Trenton PDF Download

Excerpt from Two Hundred Miles on the Delaware River: A Canoe Cruise From Its Headwaters to the Falls at Trenton At the outset the intention of this narrative was to give a succinct account of a canoe cruise down the Delaware to enable future voyageurs to estimate the time required for such a trip, and also to present some of the obstacles and pleasures likely to be encountered. We have departed from our original plan, however, because the trip was crowded with matters of interest relating to local scenery, towns and characteristic bits, so that the subject grew on our hands in a way most pleasant, at least to us, and it was natural to suppose that others would be entertained in reading about them if unable to see for themselves. The Delaware valley proves an inexhaustible field for the artist, presenting, as it does, at every point a vista of landscape and background, the equal of which many among us have travelled far to see. To the canoeist-photographer every turn brings to view an opportunity for an interesting exposure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
