Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, the Christina River, an approximately 35-mile-long tributary of the Delaware River that cuts across northern Delaware, has played a role in the development of Newark, Christiana, Newport, and Wilmington. Near its mouth, it welcomed European settlers from Sweden and Finland. The Port of Wilmington, opened in 1923, handles international cargo and trade. The river was home to shipbuilding operations that once made Wilmington the busiest shipbuilding city in the United States. The river encouraged people to open businesses in the area, and industries like the Krebs Pigment Plant, Jackson & Sharp railroad manufacturers, and Pusey & Jones shipbuilders flourished. Farther downstream, in Newark, the river's history includes the only Revolutionary War battle fought on Delaware soil. Through vintage photographs, Along the Christina River shares the river's rich heritage and traces the history of this great waterway.

From shore to shore the current swept resistless, apparently of uniform depth, broken and riffied from countless causes. Ve dubbed it Lost Channel Rift. During the day's journey the channel led us under immense rocky cliffs, rising first from one side of the river and then from the other, the Pennsylvania side, however, being the more precipitous. Scraggly pine trees covered the hillside. Mongaup Falls 37 The rifts we found very shallow, and with sharp descents, winding up at the foot in chop cross-currents with turbulent waves. Thus we traveled, encountering in some places two or three descents in quick succession. The bends, too, were sharper and more frequent. At ten o'clock we were skirting the canal wall at Pond Eddy. just beyond the village, Allen obtained a fine picture, the rock-bound ending of a rolling mountain range. Two miles further down the river, and we heard a heavy booming that caused us to train our eye-sight ahead. In the distance we could see a narrow, rocky channel, down which the foam-lashed volume poured with such force that waves six feet in height were formed. And this is Mongaup Falls. It is not long, but it is very juicy, what there is of it, and, as the boy said, there is lots of it, such as it is. The river and town of the same name lay on the right. Our experience at this point proved a rough teacher. Ve had grown so familiar with "rifts " that we welcomed them merely as helps in our journey. Ve had as yet no thought of recurring to our lap covers, not having met with currents sufficiently heavy to swamp us. However, we were destined to grow familiar with sterner things. The heavier body of water obliterated the rifts, and falls were now to engage our combined tact...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
