The Coudersport Pike marked the southerly boundary of the Black Forest, a vast region of white pine, hemlock and hardwood timber, which covered approximately an area of forty miles by forty miles. As late as 1881, this land could be bought from private owners for one dollar per acre, grand old trees and all, so far from market was it at that time. Much of it was still in the possession of the State, and could be taken up by homesteaders. But with the advent of stem-winder railways, about twenty-five years ago, the timber became accessible, its value increased, and in twenty years all but a few scattering tracts were cut off. No one thought of replanting, like in the Black Forest of Germany, and today the view northward through the Black Forest that was is disheartening in the extreme. Most of this denuded area has now passed into the hands of the State, and if the next session of the Legislature grants a sufficient appropriation, a cent an acre will be enough, a strong effort will be made to check the forest fire horror and let the country grow up again. But when apparently some men say openly that the huckleberry crop is worth more than the young trees, local co-operation will be withheld from restoring the forest cover, so valuable alike to the healthful and commercial welfare of the Pennsylvania Highlands. Nearer to Williamsport than Lewis' Lake, Highland Lake or Essick Heights is a most attractive resort. It can easily be reached by driving road up Loyalsock Creek or else by footpath up the sheer face of towering mountains. The scenery from Essick Heights Hotel is beyond description, it is so varied and beautiful. Many other fine views are obtained from the regions adjacent...

Book excerpt: Photographer and writer Tim Palmer has spent more than 25 years researching and experiencing life on the waterways of the American continent. He has travelled by canoe or raft on more than 300 different rivers, down wide placid streams and rough raging rapids. His journeys have taken him to every corner of the country, where he has witnessed and described the unique interaction of geographical, historical, and cultural forces that act upon our nation's vital arteries. America by Rivers represents the culmination of that grand adventure. Palmer describes the rivers of America in all their remaining glory and tarnished beauty, as he presents a comprehensive tour of the whole of America's river systems. Filled with important new information as well as data gathered from hundreds of published sources, America by Rivers covers: the network of American waterways and how they fit together to form river systems unique features of individual rivers along with their size, length, and biological importance environmental problems affecting the rivers of different regions and what is being done to protect and restore them cultural connections and conflicts surrounding the rivers of each region Chapters address the character of rivers in distinct regions of the country, and each chapter highlights one river with a detailed view from the water. Rivers profiled include the Penobscot, Potomac, Suwanee, Minnesota, Niobara, Salmon, Rio Grande, American, Rogue, and Sheenjek. Eighteen maps guide the reader across the country and 100 photos illustrate the splendor of Palmer's fascinating subject. America by Rivers provides a new way of seeing our country, one that embraces the entire landscape and offers fresh avenues to adventure. It is compelling reading for anyone concerned about the health of our land and the future of our waterways.
